transmission

I had and issue starting my car in park. It would sometimes start (mostly not) but if I put it in neutral it worked everytime. I bought a neutral saftey switch and put it in. During the install the shaft that the NSS goes on came out of bit but I was able to slide it back in pretty easily...

I was going down my road today and just put new plug wires on my MSP, I stop at a stop sign and go to accelerate pretty rapidly, I got to about 4k rpm and the car felt like it slipped out of first gear, not thinking nothing off it ( thought it was a one in a million thing, never happens ) went...

I bought a Protege MP3 from a friend. I replaced almost the entire front end when I still noticed a grinding noise. I asked my friend and he said he had put a 626 manual transmission in it. I did some research and found out the 626 axel is about a 1/4 of an inch longer than a stock Protege axel...

Alright guys so I've been doing a lot of searching on the forums to find exactly what my problem might be and it seems like its been addressed but not really answered. There are two things that happen in my car that make me think its either a clutch issue or one of my forks. It usually happens...

Hello all, The last few weeks I've noticed that sometimes when I am braking to slow down the car to make a turn, it seems and sounds like the engine is racing as if I had it in neutral and was putting my foot on the gas. This is a 2013 automatic touring in Drive. Has anyone else noticed...

Got a (hopefully) quick question for the gurus. Just bought a brand new 2012 CX-9 GT. Within 2 hours of purchase the wrench light came on, TCS off light illuminated, and cruise control stopped working. The car had diminished power and inability to accelerate. Dealer says a blown brake fuse...

hey i just purchased a 2002 P5, car is in excellent shape, (first P5) and i noticed then with the car in neutral, clutch in or out, the idle is fine, but when i put the car into gear, the idle jumps between 1000 and 1500, with the clutch pressed in, car drives fine and has no running issues, as...

I've noticed when I drive my 2013 CX 5 AWD and am starting out from a stop that the mpg reading is very low which i realize is normal. As I accelerate with the speed increasing I can feel the transmission starting to shift so I take my foot off the gas a little and the mpg reading goes up. Are...

Like title says my passenger motor mount is out for sure, probably the others as well and i think i'll just replace all 3. I'm not heavy into performance mods or anything just want something that will end vibration, last a long time, and not super expensive. So what do you guys recommend? I...

Hey all, I've searched around the forums and havent had much luck with this question. I have a 2002 Protege5 5speed, the transmission is junk. I went to the local junkyard and purchased a 1994 Mazda 626 transmission, which is pretty much the same as a G Series Ford Probe transmission. I...

Hey guys, I got my msp at the end of the summer and I love the car, but I would like to get some more power (shooting for 5.5s 0-60) nothing crazy just to keep up with some of my friends. I am still kind of new to the mechanics of cars so I was wondering what I could do to achieve this without...

i plan on buying a 2005 mazda 3 and i was leaning more towards the automatic. i know almost EVERYONE thinks manuals are better but as of right now im not comfortable enough drivings manuals to invest in buying one, but who knows, i might change my mind. but anyways, i know that the automatic has...

Hey guys, Looking to pick up a 2003 MSP this week with a bad transmission. I have searched and could not find the exact answer I am hoping to find. I am curious if using a MP3, or Protege5 (or any 2.0) transmission can be directly bolted in to a MSP. I have learned that both share a 22 spline...

I was driving out of town for the holidays on Dec 21, and the A/T light turned on in my 2008 Mazda 3. It's a 5-speed 2.3L, has 76K miles. I had occassionally felt it stick, or had a slightly slow gear change, in the 2 years since I bought it used, but never anything noticeable or worrisome. I...

2003 P5 2.0 MT 170k miles. The transmission has just been swapped out for a used one because one of the shaft bearing failed and damaged the gears and case beyond repair. The new transmission was apparently out of a 83k miles 2003 Mazda Protege with 2.0engine. It is possible that it was from...

i have an 01 mp3 5speed transmission that i want to swap in my protege but i want to rebuild it before i do that. when i took it out of my pre. car the 2nd and 3rd gear have been not catching. if anyone has a new to barely use set of gear. i would be interested to buy

I drove it the other day and then it randomly just revved up wile driving and won't go from there... Sounds like its a transmission problem.. I heard that it could be a cracked LSD. I'm not sure. Should I get a new tranny or buy the LSD and try to install it... Anyone know anything about it ...

Hey I know this might sound like a noob question but Im kind of confused on one thing. I swapped out my transmission fluid a few months ago, and I'm having my mechanic friend switch out the brake fluid on my car tomorrow. I saw on some threads that there is also clutch fluid? Someone also...
