    2007~2015 Changing CX-9 transfer case gear oil (photos)

    I know I'm not contributing much to this thread with this info but thanks for the youtube video which compares the new CX9 to the Audi. We bought a low mile 2016 Q5 3.0T last week and it's hella sweet. The SRT Jeep was a beast, like an offshore race boat on wheels and "not my cup of tea" or my...

    2007~2015 Access Center Console and Rear Vents of CX-9

    Guys I just did this today and it couldn't be easier. You don't need any manual or anything, it's a piece of cake, You need: 1. A headlamp or flashlight 2. A philips screwdriver 3. The center console rear panel assembly with new vents. It does not include the HVAC controls or anything though...

    2nd Row Seat Guide Rail cover removal

    Awesome - thanks for this info. I plan to tackle this myself in prep for selling our 2010. There's 7 years of the same stuff you have in there. Legos, cheez-its, pretzel, beech sand, you name it. Moving the seats is difficult. Truth be told, they rarely need to be moved except to put kids in the...

    2007~2015 Changing CX-9 transfer case gear oil (photos)

    "or you're just being sarcastic and solution is to sell the CX-9 ?" The former....not that unhappy with the car overall but at 94k miles on a 2010 I think it's time. Getting out while I'm ahead. New tires on it and all new front suspension parts from the LCA recall about two weeks ago which...

    2007~2015 Changing CX-9 transfer case gear oil (photos)

    I found a permanent solution to this issue. I have some cleanup and interior fixes to make on the car and then I'm going to put it on Craigslist and unload it.

    2007-2014 Mazda CX-9 Recalled For Corrosion Problem

    Our 2010 was pulling to the left a week ago. It's my wife's DD and I hadn't driven it in about a month and first thing I get behind the wheel it's pulling. I check tire pressures and all are 32 or so. I decide it's probably wear and time to rotate them. That's when I found the inside of the...

    2007~2015 Changing CX-9 transfer case gear oil (photos)

    Yeah that's the one. I don't believe I tried to reinstall it switched around the other way. The tubular brace has unequal stand-off sort of mounting. One side is higher than the other and IIRC if I would try it switched 180 it would be even worse and also not bolt flush to the underside of the...

    2007~2015 Changing CX-9 transfer case gear oil (photos)

    Nice write-up and video. My PTO was replaced at around 69K miles and I received the warranty extension letter. She's at 88K miles now and it's been on my mind. I am going to have to do this fluid change soon. One question - when the dealer delivered my car back to me, I noticed a horrible...

    Is the 2010 sunglasses holder still impossible to replace? Ours is busted, again.

    Same problem with our 2010 and same response last year when I asked about the part. They don't sell just the door. You have to buy the entire console natch. I decided to hell with it and just left it out. I might glue it permanently into place instead of leaving the hole but haven't bothered. I...

    Brake Setup on your CX-9

    CX9 Brakes So you got 61K out of the Centric setup. That's interesting. Sounds to me like you should maybe consider the Hawk HPS or something more aggressive from EBC. I just put that Centric rotors and pads setup on our CX9 last Saturday. Took me 6 hours and I haven't done a brake job in...

    Brake Setup on your CX-9

    CX9 Brakes Yeah I'm shopping them now too. Our CX9 is a 2010 with 77K on it and they are getting bad. They've been pulsating a bit for about 10K miles and now they are just about toast. Still OK but getting unsafe at higher speeds, pulsating and fading badly on highway stops. Anyone have good...

    Farewell speedfans

    I've sold my 2009 MS3 via Craigslist and title transfer was completed just hours ago. Car was in great shape and I'll miss the fun but life and work priorities trump what it did for me. You might wonder what replaced it. 2015 Toyota Highlander XLE black on black. No more FWD cars for me...

    Mazda Has Abandoned Enthusiasts!

    I've been driving my 2009 up here in Michigan now since it was new and while I still love the car, I'm DONE trying make it work in winter. Getting an SUV to replace it and looking at Acura MDX. But for a REAL performance car, one that can really haul ass, my background and experience lends me...

    Hypertech 62003 WTS but Panjo no work

    Yep....thought about that car too. C&D likes the handling but it isn't quite as fast or quick as a comparable Charger. I like it but..IMO it seems a bit overpriced for an imported Chevy and up here in the snow belt ( or rust belt if you prefer ) the RWD isn't as good in snow as AWD. I debated...

    Hypertech 62003 WTS but Panjo no work

    I've gone through a number of ideas but believe it or not, an MDX. I need the space for my two boys and the AWD plus some utility and sportiness. The MDX has great seats, great dash, and adequate power and seems to fit the bill. Also considered a SHO for awhile but changed my mind. Still love my...

    Hypertech 62003 WTS but Panjo no work

    Hey all! Unfortunately I can't seem to find a quick way to resolve this but I have a Hypertech unit which I like very much, however I will be selling the car shortly and putting this tuner up for sale. For some reason I can't get the Panjo Marketplace to work properly. Mods feel free to reach...

    Transfer case leaked and warranty replacement

    This is a Ford part ( the transfer case ) and supposedly high speed driving is a contributing factor. I'm not sure I believe that, but that's what I read. I'm not sure if you received in the mail yet or not, but Mazda recently sent me a notification regarding the transfer case unit replacement...
