transmission

My wife drives a 2014 Mazda 5 Sport, 6 speed manual transmission, 34k miles and it recently started making a ticking sound when accelerating. I drove it tonight and the symptoms have changed a bit. So the ticking sound changes in frequency and tone as the engine revs, but if the clutch is...

Hey Guys! Im really excited to be part of the group on Mazda247, I recently scooped up a 2002 MP5 and its in immaculate condition. But the only feature I questioned about the car was the shifter with the button compared to the 2003 model with the sleek looking triptronic. I have searched every...

So driving home from work yesterday, I was doing about 40 and all of the sudden my car lost acceleration, I couldn't get it to speed up. I coasted off to the side of the road and put it into park, then tried again and I was able to drive, but now I was stuck in a low gear, I could only do about...

Yesterday my wife was driving and said something is not right. The engine RPM was faster than it should be on the highway and a hard shift from start. Well, we figured out that the car was skipping second gear and overdrive was not working. It would start in 1st just fine, but since second...
