transmission

Greetings fellow Mazdaites. Mazdans? (Mazda owners sounds too generic). I also hope this thread is in the correct place. To the point...I am currently ready to pull the engine from my 03 Protege LX w/auto tranny and would like some advice, hints, tricks, or whatever that could assist with the...

Is there a guide or suggestions for rebuilding an 01-03 Protege Manual Transmission? I have enough parts between two broken units to make one good transmission but have no idea what is involved or how severe this project would be. I would like to just buy a replacement transmission but there are...

Is there a mechanical difference between automatic transmissions with a Tiptronic shift lever equiped in the 2003 Protege ES sedan and 2003 Protege5 hatchback, and the 2001-2003 Protege (DX, LX sedan) 2002 Protege5 automatic transmissions? I have a spare automatic transmission taken from a 2003...

I found a 2002 P5 at a good price on Crigslist with 122k miles but it needs the transmission replaced. Its has a manual transmission, but all I have to replace it with is an automatic transmission. I think I have all of the parts needed to complete this from a 2003 Protege LX sedan including...

I have a 2010 CX-9 GT 2WD... does anyone know the correct torque spec for the transmission drain plug?

Hey, I own a 2002 Mazda Protege5. I need to repair my transmission. I can't afford a new transmission, nor do I need a whole new one yet. I have somebody who's going to help me to repair my transmission. I wanted a kit or a place to get parts for the job. I need Synchros, Dog Gears, and possibly...

Hi all. I just purchased a new-to-me 2010 CX-9 GT AWD with 25k miles. After scouring the forums, I'm starting to freak myself out that there might be a transfer case issue, but the symptoms don't really match up with what I'm reading on here. Anyway, when accelerating from a stop, and only in...

The LH output shaft seal was leaking. I thought I had time to wait for my pope mani to come in to replace the seal, mani, and install a new timing belt all at once. I was wrong. Yes, I understand it was stupid not to periodically check fluid level knowing there was a leak. Started the car one...

Howdy all. Long time lurker, first time poster. My 6 has been having some shift issues at the high end ... 4th through 6th ... particularly when you punch it. It is a dead match to the description of Service Bulletin TSB 05-016/06 ( http://www.6crew.com/files/tsb/05-016-06-1725.pdf ) ... long...

Hi, I have a 2007 mazda 3. I feel there is something wrong with the transmission. When I drive the car the gear shift is not smooth and produces little jerks which I find strange for an automatic transmission. And when the car is cold putting it in reverse produces significant amount of jerks...

...on my ride home from NYC to MD. I'm stuck in Jersey til I get it fixed. What am I in for here? Is Aamco gonna rake me over the coals? Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks one and all!!

It's been getting slightly more difficult and rough to shift and downshift lately. But if I press the clutch all the way down with full pressure (minor work out to my left leg) then it's smoother to shift and feels very easy. Does this mean my clutch is going out. I just don't wanna have to...

so my transmission went on my 2003 mazdaspeed protege and was just wondering if it can be replaced with a regular protege one. I am aware that the regular protege is an open diff and not an lsd diff but would it still work? Would be nice if it did, very difficult too find a cheap used mazdaspeed...

Hey, So as the title says, my standard transmission P5 is stuck in 4th gear. As i shifted from 3rd to 4th, I think I mis-shifted (heard that horrible gear grinding noise) and ever since I'm stuck in 4th. I'm able to move the shifter around different positions without even needing to use the...

Background: 2012 Mazda5 Sport with 6-speed manual, dealer serviced only, currently about 26k miles on the odometer. Issue: when the clutch is depressed and released during a normal shift, there is a brief low noise as the clutch is released. It's almost like a "honk" or groan. Primarily in the...

Hey everybody I'm new to posting to the forum but have been using it to troubleshoot a bunch on my P5 - thanks for all your help! This one's a call to arms, i'm completely stumped and haven't been able to find much information about my symptoms anywhere. Some back info (and please let me know...

I bought my 2014 Mazda 6 GX MT with a 2.5L gasoline engine, in December 2013. I have been having an array of strange issues with my transmission and I want to see if anyone else has had problems, please list any problems or solutions bellow. First problem I had with my transmission was that it...

Hey everyone, I'm going to check out some p5's on tuesday and wonder if I should go with a manual, auto, or tiptronic transmission if I happen to find an 03? I'm somewhat comfortable on a stickshift around the neighborhood or open road but I've never driven in traffic, highways or unusual...

I've already got a lot of great information from this forum and am hoping to get a lot more!

Hey all! I'm having some issues with my car: I was just driving home in my Mazda today when suddenly the Check Engine Light, AT Light, and Traction Control Light all came on at once. Additionally, it seems as if the engine was lacking power/not shifting gears at all (it required a constant...
