My engine has started idling rough. I recently replaced all of the engine mounts and the transmission mount. So it may have been idling this way before and I thought it was all in the worn out mounts. But I noticed that if I rev it and hold the RPM's at 1000 instead of the 650 or so the engine...

iJay, It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I am not sure which trans you have, mine is the 5 speed manual. I have access to a shop with all the tools needed. You need a support to hold the engine in place as you will have all of the mounts out except for one. I took the lower A frame...

I just pulled my transmission in my 2001 MP3 to change the clutch and replace the rear main seal. My problem is that 2 of the bolts in the rear mount ( between engine and firewall ) galled up with the aluminum from the transmission. Now they wont clean up either. I am curious if there is a...

Awesome thread. I have been following it for awhile. I have a 2001 Mazda MP3. Is has a factory installed alarm and factory remote without any extra buttons. Is there away I can wire the trunk actuator to pop with my remote? I already have already purchased a kit I was just curious of how the...

just sealed mine last weekend. I had a split seam under both tail lights. I removed both light assemblies and used a small spray bottle filled with water to spray the area. You could see the water running in as I sprayed the seam just above the bumper. I used an aviation seam sealer to seal the...

darthnewky you are correct it was the 2721 Sylvania bulbs. Thanks for the help.

Yes I am interested. I could use the brackets off of my seats. Are they in good condition? Just let me know how much you want for them

Any one out there have a MP3 Drivers seat that is in good condition? Mine is starting to rip at the lower seams. I live in Germany ( APO / FPO ) so it is the same as shipping to anyplace in the states. Let me know !

04spoondc5 I do not have any weird noises or anything just a small leak from either the rear main or the trans front seal. I live in Germany and I mail order all my parts. I just wanted to be sure I had all the parts I needed before I was in the middle of the job and would have to wait for 2...

I am at 203,000 miles and I just noticed a leak coming out between the trans and the engine. I am planning on pulling the trans to see for sure its the rear main or the front trans seal. I have ordered a clutch set along with the alignment tool and both seals. Is there any problems with the...

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase the small TSD 74 bulbs for the speedometer cluster? I have done multiple Google searches and have come up blank.

Well I replaced both coil packs, plugs and wires. Been driving for awhile now without any issues !!!!!!!

AutoZone has some cheap ones listed for $30 a piece, but I am not sure of the quality. I bought mine from onlinemazdaparts.com for $83 and some change. I have purchased parts through them before and have been happy with the quality so far. Shipping is fast to.

I purchased new coils, decided to change both of them at the same time. Replacing wires and plugs too. I am waiting on them to be delivered, it sucks having to order everything since I am in Germany. I will update you guys as I go.

My 2001 Protege started running rough about a week ago. I thought it was the transmission but tonight the Check engine light came on. I read the computer and it had the P0303 # 3 cylinder misfire. I am planning a tune up, Plugs and wires, new PCV valve. I had the Pre- Cat replaced a year ago...
