You get one out of the 2015 model, I'll take your old one and swap it in mine, we both report back if it worked or not and call the discussion closed.

No, I am referring to the 2013-2015 models. In the US, the 2013-2015 models with manual transmissions are limited to the CX-5 sport model. No factory options available and you can choose between silver, dark grey, and black. That's it. Hence my frustration. Basic everything, no Bluetooth, no fog...

Looking for the non-BOSE factory head unit that is touch screen for the CX-5. Not completely sure, but this could also be the same model as from the latest generation Mazda 6 unit as well. Looking to experiment with swapping it in my Sport model CX-5 since we couldn't have any factory options...

So, some of us ended up with the sport model... which kinda blows... but I didn't want a slushbox transmission and I wanted the CX-5. So the deal has been done. And the taste is still bitter in my mouth about how there were literally NO factory options available for the 6MT models. At this...

I think the obvious answer is the the Polks are going to drive a better sound quality. The questions should be will you notice the difference?

I'll be honest. I was originally very cautious about the fact that the manual transmission CX-5 was only offered as FWD and with a 2.0 liter engine... but I am very happy with the way that the motor handles everyday driving and some spirited activity from time to time. Not to mention the...

I have had zero issues with the acceleration and power. Then again... I traded in my Mazda 2 for the CX-5 simply for the sake of space and room and it has proved itself more than adequate with the pairing of the 2.0L and the manual gearbox. It felt a little sluggish when it was brand new from...

I also recently purchased the sport MT model myself and while I thought the base radio was more than adequate... I had a loaner touring model for a day with the same radio and the additional tweeters in the dash. What a difference in sound it was, particularly with the windows down. I then did...

Probably the same motor and transmission. I would recommend trying it... or you could probably get the dealer to do it for free. All I did was walk in and show the service advisor the problem which could be replicated with the car sitting still... they didn't even ask questions.

It's running great. I've added about another 400 miles on the car since the "fix" if you will and it's definitely greatly improved. I mean, when the transmission is still cold it can be a little stiff to get into some gears, but that's overall pretty normal for ~40F mornings... At least with...

I ended up ordering the two KD62-66-960 speakers and will be receiving them some time this week. I had a leaner touring model from the dealer for a day with the six speak factory unit and it was an impressive (and noticeable) difference between the two. For less than $35, I really can't see a...

Here is what they ended up adding to the gear oil. I can absolutely say the transmission feels EXACTLY as it should have from day one.

I am interested as well, however I doubt they will give me those details when I go to pick it up here in an hour or two. If I do find any valuable information, I will definitely post it as well as if it is actually fixed by said friction modifier or not.

UPDATE #2 Just got the call from the dealership. They already put the vehicle on the lift and drained the manual transmission. Apparently the gear oil was missing a friction modifier that was supposed to be added to these cars. They have added the friction modifier and they said they drove it...

Well - update. I left work today in a pretty sour mood and I got locked out of fourth gear again almost immediately. I took it straight to the dealer. The service advisor came out, replicated it immediately, and gave me a loaner. They expect to have the car until at least Monday which tells me...

I played around with it some last night since my wife forgot her lunch for work and I had to run something up to her. Driving around town, I could easily flick it into fourth gear on command if I was shifting into fourth gear under 35 MPH. From about 35 MHP to 40 MPH, it wanted to lock me out...

Yea that's exactly the opposite for me. A natural flick down misses the gear, almost as though it hits the gate.

Wow. Definitely nothing like that is happening. The gear engagement is solid and the transmission works exactly as it should... it just seems like something is maybe out of alignment and that it can be shifted smoothly if you follow a particular method of shifting. Since I went to a completely...

So... I recently traded in my 2012 Mazda 2 for a 2014 CX-5. It was hard to let go of the 2, but I needed something with a little bit more (OK, a lot more) room inside for my growing wedding photography business and getting a compact SUV or crossover with a proper manual transmission sealed the...

It might be. I know at least the thread pitch is the same between genone and genpu. Shoot me a picture if you don't mind and what you're looking to get for it.
