also, does the car pull to one side when driving regularly...depending on the severity of your problem that's a good way to determine if it's a seizing caliper...if it doesn't pull to one side that doesn't rule that out, but if it does then it tells you it's the caliper not the e-brake...also...

a seized rotor doesn't mean the car won't drive...but it'll present the same symptoms as your e-brake sticking...it just means that the caliper could be partially stuck engaged, and seized there

here's a quick pchop...could have done better but I'm low on sleep and I didn't spend a lot of time on it

lol, whoops didn't even scroll down...I'll see if I can get started on that in a few minutes, gotta start my laundry first lol

lol, sorry for the long explanation...btw, if I sounded at all attacking or rude I didn't mean to be

I totally see your dilemma with remote start in cold areas, so I hope no one tries to flame you for that without taking that into account but while I don't have any tips if your e-brake is simply sticking...you might want to check to see if it's not your rear calipers seizing from old...

if you get me a pic of any protege with that lip in decent lighting I can photoshop it black for you if I get the chance

the reason you are NOT (and I mean -NOT-) supposed to shift into first gear at speeds above 20ish mph is because despite what most people think the transmission is still spinning when the clutch is disengaged the transmission consists of three shafts: the input shaft, the lay shaft, and the...

couldn't answer the exact size you need...but as for the mazda 6 filter being the same I doubt that, I believe you have that confused with the mazda 626, which used the same 2.0L FS engine as the protege from 93-02 also according to K&N's oil filter application list it looks like the 6 is not...

sorry, no need for a flywheel...I've actually got three laying around lol

15k miles is far better than the one I've got now (>100k miles lol) but got any pics of the clutch disk itself?

hey just like the title says, I need the two upper mounting brackets that hold the top of the MSP radiator and smic in place...I really don't care if it has the gromets in it, but obviously they would be ideal even in crappy shape (note: I need the msp ones, the p5 ones are different) I also...

absolutely not the gasket is so you don't need to use RTV, if you are going to use RTV then why would you need the gasket? you would use one or the other

damian: the cork gasket is reusable...it's not a pressurized seal, it's not a high tolerance seal, it's just there to stop oil from leaking out of the pan...and the cork gasket does just as good as a job as RTV without the mess, the prep, and the 24 hour seal time (if you use the real RTV...
