transmission

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...

My P5 was recently in an accident, some bum was texting while driving and drove into my lane. I swerved to avoid him and spun out, rolled down the embankment, and ended up with the driver's side laying on the ground. Cosmetically, the car looks fine aside from a crushed side mirror. The car...

I am stuck. I've been tracking down this thumping/humming noise in the front end of my 99 protege 1.6 m/t. What has been replaced is; struts, wheel bearings, cv shafts, rotors, calipers and pads. I've finally tracked down the noise. It happens at all speeds from 3mph until infinity. Gets louder...

I would like to buy a MSP Transmission 01-03. I dont really know what this is called, but it is the piece that is between front motor mount and the bottom of the motor, mine was snapped when i got the car. Pm Me Please

I bought a softly driven P5 in august with 180k on it. The syncro on fifth was worn out and but it was a really good deal ($2600) and I figured i was good enough with matching my rpms to make it work. However the transmission soon developed the problem of falling out of fifth. As in I would be...

Okay so my transmission went out and i was wondering if possible what transmission can i put in my 2003 MSP from another car and it work just fine. I dont know much about these cars. So ANYTHING will help!!!!

Hey Everyone, I'm new to the forum and the world of Mazda, just wanted to say GREAT FORUM! Thanks to everyone for all this info. I just recently purchased a 2005 Mazda3 Hatchback 2.3L I4 with an automatic transmission. It runs great, the only issue I have noticed is that first gear sticks...

Hello All The other day, I took my CX9 FWD to a pull-along car wash (Driver side wheels on the roller, and the passenger side wheels on the ground). While in the wash, instead of being in Neutral gear, my car was in Reverse, with engine shut off. I realised this about 30 seconds later, and then...

Hey guys, my 1986 Mazda 626 2.0i Manual Transmission is jumpy throughout 1st-3rd gear. It's jumpy in the same way when you pop the clutch and don't give it enough gas. It's goes from 2k to 2.5 then straight to 3k until I shift, then it does it again through second and third. I've put new gear...

Three months ago I purchased a 2008 CX-9 AWD- Grand Touring- Bose RES and Navi for my wife. I bought the car from a very reputable GMC/Buick dealership with 53,000 miles. The sales manager is a personal friend of mine, and I have purchased all of my vehicles from him. About a month after we...

Hoping you guys (and gals) can help me with this one. I have an 07 CX7 turbo w/ 44K. Last November (2010) car started shifting intermittently. It would drop down to 3rd or 4th while on the freeway, it would upshift to 5th or 6th while driving down the street in our neighborhood (25mph)...

Hi, My wife's 2008 automatic transmission seems to have gotten a little loose. When she shifts from reverse to drive, the car moves a little bit, which she says is new. I've checked the tranny fluid, which is fine. The parking brake is a little bit loose, but the car moves even with a foot on...

I have a 2010 Mazda3, automatic transmission, with 17k miles on it. Couple weeks ago I had the oil changed and tires rotated, and the tech said that the transmission fluid was dark brown and needs replaced. I have also noticed that the car seems more sluggish and is taking longer to switch...

So I've decided to finally do a transmission flush to my P5, now with 150k and decided to go with the redline mt90 which seems to be the favorite from most the people on this website. So I think I almost fully understand how to drain it correctly but I was wondering if its necessary to lift it...

Whenever its warm out, it gets to where i can barely shift into first at a stop. It is really annoying. If anyones got any ideas on what its from, id be glad to hear them. -Thanx-

Can anyone tell me why i can pull my stick out of 3rd gear so easily, but i cant with all the rest of the gears? i was thinking it was like a safety precaution or maybe its the "safe" gear? someone help!!!!
