transmission

I have a Spicy MSP. I am the second owner, I have had it for 4 years and it has 102k miles on it. I just put in a new clutch and suspension. The car is in great condition. I live in the city and the thing that bothers me most is having a 5 speed to deal with. Could I or should I convert it to an...

Im looking for alot or little help on piggyback ems solutions for the msp, also if any of you msp owners have had your lsd blow out, you know its an expensive fix. Im debating whether to put a base model transmission with a open differential in it or just buying a new differential. Can you guys...

I have an automatic/tap shift with several new parts that have been replaced in the car, including the engine, but things just aren't completely running properly yet. The car starts, but only when I put the car in neutral. Once the car has started the rpms rev up and down and fluctuate pretty...

50 miles into a 500 mile trip this weekend the trans in my 2003 Mazda 6 3.0 with added trans cooler (147K mi ) started shifting really harsh on the highway and the "AT" dash light was on. Wife says turn around - I say lets keep going. At the first stoplight 200 miles later it won't even...

Hi and thanks for opening my post. SORRY its so long but, I'm new here and maybe you can help me out with my problem. I have a 2003 Protege5 with the Automatice/Sportronic Transmission (not sure what its called). I bought this car about 4 months ago and I LOVE it, up until about 2 weeks ago when...

After having my new CX5 (AWD, Automatic) for only one week, I couldn't be any more thrilled. After an 80 mile road trip through the mountains with lots of climbing and decending, my trip computer registered 34 mpg for the entire trip. I was expecting only 30 mpg, so I hope the good mpg results...

I have a 2003 Protege5 with about 106xxx miles, the car drives and shifts through all the gears just fine, but when I get to about 71 MPH the AT light starts flashing, (i can go over this speed and have, but weather I speed up, slow down, or stay the same speed, the result is the same) after...

Hello, I have a 2008 MS3 with 30k miles on it. I havent been having trouble with my RMM, but I wanted to change it out. Today I changed it out and I have been getting a THUD sound when starting and stopping the engine. I don't have trouble driving, shifting, or hard shifting, only a thud when...

Soooo the clutch on my 1980 rx7 4 speed is starting to stay engaged/disengaged to gears (mostly first and second) I am not sure how to go about this and am looking for some advice or the right direction to go about fixing this. Shes mostly original abd id like to keep it that way as much as...

Hey everyone, I just bought all the parts to rebuild my transmission in my 2003.5 mazdaspeed protege. I was wondering if anyone knew where a guide could be located as far as a complete tear down and rebuild. A little over a week ago I was able to find one on the mazdaspeed how-to section but I...

So here's a stupid thing to do: right as the sun is setting on a late April afternoon drive your 3-day-old CX5 right onto the sands by the Pacific ocean. Yeap, I did it. And needless to say I got stuck with my 2-wheel drive manual transmission. I tried digging under the front wheels, turned off...

i have my 01 ES in the shop right now getting a low mileage motor put in and my 5 speed rebuilt. it has been grinding into 2nd and 3rd for many years. we got a kit for it with new synchros seals and bearings. my mechanic pulled apart the gear sets and says 2nd and 3rd really need replaced...

selling my brand new NEVER before installed motor mounts... looking to at least make most of my money back for them while still saving you a couple pennies :) all prices are OBO and are based on prices from AWR's site... paypal is the only way i will recieve payments and they will be shipped by...

Greetings, first time here :) I am almost certainly getting a Mazda 2 this weekend. I have test driven both the automatic and manual transmissions and am having trouble deciding. Currently I am leaning toward the manual because it's a lot cheaper and if something goes wrong, a clutch is much...

So I've replaced the neutral switch on my MSP for the 3rd time and this time it won't stay in. It's not stripped and it's the right part #. I've gone to the dealer a few times about this and they have no clue. The original one got snagged and it's too close to weld back together. So I bought a...

I was getting ready to go on vacation a couple of weeks ago and took my 2011 CX-7 in for the 30,000 mile oil change and tire rotation before we hit the road for the 1800+ mile round trip to Florida. I dropped it off and went back to work half a day before hitting the road. About 1 1/2 hours...

have you done it your self? i lost my third gear recently and I'm wondering if there is anything i should look out for while dropping mine. i got a good price on a m/t rebuilt with less then 50,000 km. people i know tell me just to replace the syncro or the fork but i figured that i have to take...

mine completely broke last night where i could not move the shifter out of drive into park and it would not move to the side in my sport automatic trans. I took it apart from the top to reveal several plastic white linkages broken. this reminds me of when i had a vcr constantly eat tapes because...

My automatic transmission (about 130K on it) light came on, followed by some strange transmission activity, and the fluids are fine... This can only mean one thing: inevitable failure. I know the typical thing to do is to rebuild, but could you find a manual trans and then put that in instead...

Extra Parts Included are: 1. Bad Transmission. I don't know what was wrong with it? Mechanic shop might have been lying. They turned out to be terds ($300 Plus shipping 2. A/C Compressor ($100 free shipping) 3. Alternator ($50 Free shipping 4. Original Tail Lights ($100 Free shipping) 5...
