transmission

So, I've been wanting a bit more, aggressive characteristics from my 2012 Skyactiv 3. I was wondering if anyone has installed a light weight flywheel on theirs? How it handled it, do we use the same flywheel as the older 2.0 liter? Does anyone make one that'll fit if we don't? I'm giving it some...

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...

Hey guys. I'm new to this site and mazda in general. A few months ago I bought a cheap MP5 with a bad motor but still ran, that I couldn't pass on. I decided to do a fs-ze swap myself, and being a noob it was quite the undertaking. Now the motor is in and runs, but the tranny decided it doesn't...

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 can not find the thread someone made where they assembed their transmission with a new LSD. It was very useful thread with pictures and torque specs. I saw it some time ago and cannot find it now. Can someone direct me to it or post a link PLEASE! Thanks

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...

I started it as normal, then when it was shifted into gear a loud squeal, louder than any belt noise, was heard in R,N,F,1&2. Noise went completely away when I put it back in park! I shut down, looked around under hood, serpentine belt looked fine. I checked AT fluid level - it was full and...

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...

Can anyone tell by VIN#'s if a 2008 Mazda3 5-speed manual transmission VIN# JM1BK323481774737 will fit my 2005 Mazda3 w/5-manual transmission VIN#JM1BK12F751252257 ? They look identical.

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...

My 03 Mazda Protege5 has 4 codes coming up. I'm wondering if they are all related or separate issues. The biggest is P0303 cylinder 3 misfire. Pulled the plug and it looked burnt around the bottom as well as a little charred above the nut. Replaced it but it still feels rough on 10 mile test...

Proud owner of a 2015 Mazda6 GS. My 2002 Nissan Altima was toast after only 137,000 kms (85,000 miles). When looking for a new car, I wanted something that looked good, was full sized, had excellent fuel mileage, and had a manual tranny. The manual was nearly impossible to find in the class...

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...

Hi All, I am a new owner of a used 2010 CX-9. I am thinking about replacing all the fluids with synthetics. I have already done the Engine oil and power steering. Transmission is next. I have done a transmission flush on my 05 Mazda3 by removing the oil return line. Basically it goes somthing...

...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...
