This car is fully functional, except that the passenger rear strut mount is completely rusted out and it would cost more to repair than the car is worth. 120,000 miles, 5-speed manual, silver body, 1.6l engine, grey clothe/plastic interior. The Good: Zero problems with the drive train, oil...

hi guys, Has anyone done an auto to manual transmission conversion on a mazda 2 ? how many parts will be needed total ? (new dash?). Or is it better to just buy a manual mazda 2. I ,sadly, drive an auto and would like a manual one ..(yes)

We just got a new 2015 Mazda5 GS with an automatic transmission. I was wondering about the durability of driving it using the manual mode? How aggressive can one be with the manual mode in terms of downshifts, etc? Tips or suggestions? So far, I find I get good results lifting slightly on the...

I have a 2009 Mazda 5 with the 5-speed manual. There is a black metal end cap on the driver's side of the transmission that is weeping fluid, Mazda calls it an extension housing. I've found an exploded diagram of the housing, and there doesn't look like there is a gasket between it and the...

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...

I have 2006 Mazda 3 with 92,000 miles that I bought new in January 2006. Over the past month, I've noticed that sometimes the AT light goes on, and it won't shift from 3rd gear to 4th gear, despite accelerating. I think sometimes on the interstate, it shifts from 4th to 3rd, and it feels like a...

Im about to finish my build on my MSP and wanted to know if my transmission is going to hold up to the power/torque. I bored the engine. Resurfaced the head, crank, and block. Forged rods and pistons ARP Bolts for everything Intake manifold FMI Pope Exhaust Manifold Stage 3 Racing Clutch...

Hello everyone. I know the majority of you have manuals, but I just wanted to throw this one out there in case there is anyone experienced with sportshifts. The one redeeming quality to my auto is the sportshift feature, which keeps the drive fairly entertaining (although my left foot still gets...

Can anyone give me some advice on my wife's 2008 Mazda 5 Manual transmission? Clutch pedal randomly went to the floor today. No tension whatsoever, and no warning. I'm sure it's something with the master cylinder or slave cylinder, but I can't seem to locate either of them. Should I just cave...

yes yes, it may seem like the anti performance title. But i have an 01 with an automatic. Now I'm trying to work with i got and not do a swap. Does anyone know where I can get a shift kit or some sort of performance from my auto. This is my daily driver and i drive in heavy traffic, thus I'm not...

Is the 5 speed auto transmission to delicate to tow a 1150 lb teardrop camper?

Hey guys, I've been searching round the internet for a while now and nothing has really answered this question. I am looking at tossing a turbo onto my 1.8L DOHC N/A engine on my 99 Mazda Protege ES. Now, the model I have is automatic transmission, and being only a four speed it isn't that...

I have two Protege5 hatchbacks. One has 217k miles, black, 2003, no sunroof, manual, clean interior, $1700 in April 2014. It needs the A/C compressor, muffler gasket, and clutch replaced soon and some engine mount, chassis weld repair done. The other one has 168k miles, black, 2002, has a...

Hi, I have a Mazda 5 with a manual transmission and for few weeks shifting into reverse was hard. But when I was shifting into 5th, then sliding into reverse, it was doing fine. But this week, the 1st and 2nd gear are starting doing something similar. It's hard to get into 1st, most of the time...

I tried look up my problem but could not find much info so here we are. Last week I was down shifting from 4th to 3rd when the gear felt slightly more stiff then slid into 3rd. I could not get it out of 3rd afer that, luckily I was able to crawl the rest of way home. One it was parked, I was...

Hello, fellow Mazda owners, I have a 2008 Mazda 2 1.3, I have had it for two years, and have finally decided to query an issue I've had for about the last year and a half, because my mechanic along with two other mechanics tell me that is just a "characteristic" of the car, but I am not buying...

Hey everyone... I have a P5 with an auto and the sport shift option. Not as pure as a manual, but the ability to shift makes it a bit more fun than the regular slush box. My question is: Does anyone know of any upgrades that are available for the auto transmissions? Maybe improved valvebodies or...
