Hi, In a week I have booked some lift time in a friend's garage, ready to order parts for clutch replacement Own a 2006 Mazda5 2.3l 5spd (posting here since clutch, trans, engine is the same and M3 section is more active, likely has more clutch opinions) Sifting through the forum it...

Looking for new tires, I was a bit shocked at the prices for a set of all-season rubber - it is the first car I have with low(er) profile tires. So... I started looking for a set of stock 15in Mazda3 rims (with good used tires) and found a set, only to learn that they will likely not clear the...

In Europe the Mazda5 also came with 6spd gear boxes. Would anyone know about the adaptability of a Mazda6spd trans to the 2.3l MZR ? Also: Is there a list with gear ratios out there? Especially the Diesel 6spd gears might be of interest to me. Would be cool if there is a possibility and I...

Hey, I am looking for an adapter to add an aftermarket stereo. There are plenty but all I can find only partial pin-out, supporting power & speakers. I'd like to get loose ends from the steering wheel controls in there as well if possible - because I am lazy. For reference:

Returned from a holiday trip to Germany, visiting family. Prior to flying over I already bought the fancy M5 armrest and the 2-din stereo bezel + metal fastening kit, so I just had to stow the parts for the trip home. The armrest (Mazda# 4100-78-510) was a bit of a surprise. Yes, it has a...

No, I am not planning to do this, prices for parts would prohibit it. So this is just a theoretical question. Some Ford C1 platform cars came with a factory AWD option, available in the US - for example the Volvo V50. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_C1_platform Without major fabrication...

We recently lost our Protege ES due to an accident. Car has been hit in the back and pushed into the next car in the front - classic. Decided to buy back the car from the insurance. Damage: Trunk parts & tail-lights are no good, front grille and radiator support, pass. headlight not good. Car...

Just rolled in the shop: 2006 Mazda 5 Sport - 5spd - 96k miles This was a quick draw. Madame's 2000 Protege ES got rear ended big time on Thursday (parts anyone?), skimmed Craigslist on Friday, looked at this on Saturday. A small soccer-mom van with a manual transmission, no other car we looked...

Hello there, Just brought home a Mazda 5 (2006) - 96k miles. Needs the obvious - rear struts. I did some research here and elsewhere and it seems one of the biggest issues is that this Mazda 5 is probably the biggest car in the lot, sharing compatible suspension parts with other Mazda, Ford...
