    Super sloppy gear shift

    I tried to remove the heat shield...got the first bolt loosened and it just kept spinning. So much for that. Was able to replace all 6 bushings though after breaking the bolt on the front link. One call to the dealer gave me all new hardware. Just finished earlier today and took it around the...

    Super sloppy gear shift

    Ok, where can I get an after market replacement for #16? I don't know if my google isn't working or what...(I'm kidding). Mazda dealer is on the other side of town, and getting one shipped to my door is 3-4 times the price of the part. I'm not trying to spend a bunch, this is my daily driver and...

    Super sloppy gear shift

    Hey all, I tried finding a thread on this so forgive me if I'm repeating here... My 5 speed gear shift is really sloppy. In gear and in neutral. I'm assuming just need to replace the bushings but when I look online I only find 2. Are there only 2 bushings I need to replace or are there more...

    https://imgur.com/wobcObt Here is the connector that I need to find a home for...Like I said the wires run from positive battery connection to the plug which is about in the middle of the windshield, and the ground runs to the passenger side like to the fire wall or strut mount somewhere.

    I bought a new fuse and need to replace the alternator belt (squeaks), replace a split vacuum line on my cruise control, and figure out where that mystery connector plugs into. Unfortunately living in Florida the weather often times has a different idea. Hoping this storm will blow over so I...

    Also, there is a ground right by the fuse box...I took it off to clean and was curious what it went to so I tugged on it a little. There is a plug wires run from positive battery terminal right under the windshield...it wasn't plugged in. I can't see what it plugs in to...thoughts? I don't know...

    What does the 100 amp "main" fuse control? It was all corroded (but not blown).

    Electrical gremlin...

    I bought the car from an older lady in north carolina. Unfortunately, she bought it from a Marine that bought it (or at least had it in) Hawaii. So There is a decent amount of rust.

    Electrical gremlin...

    Hey all, here's my issue... A little over a year ago my car would have trouble starting and the battery light would come on randomly while driving. I took the alternator out and bought a new one after having the battery tested (good). I took my old one in for the core charge and before I left...

    Inner tie rod removal tips

    Lol...my boots seems to be in pretty good order, reusing them was my plan as well. After you reinstall washers and inner tie rod, is that when you bend the tabs on the washer? Forgive my questions, first time taking this job on.

    Inner tie rod removal tips

    I am doing this job soon (parts ordered and shipped!) but I don't really understand the lock washer and what needs to be done to it to get it out and reinstall a new one. Can someone break it down barney style for me?

    Battery light on and then off in 5-10 mins

    This exact thing happened to me. Alternator died after a couple of weeks of the light going on and off like that.
