    2019 Factory Service Manual

    I paid the $30 for 24 hour access to the MazdaServiceInfo.com deal, where all the service manuals live. Unfortunately it's not in a single big PDF, but each section is broken out into it's own subsection. There is no way to easily scrape all the data that I have found. Compiling after the fact...

    2019 Factory Service Manual

    Does anyone have a gen4 Factory Service Manual (Workshop Manual)? Looking to remove some interior bits for vinyl wrapping, looking for the procedures on how to remove the window controls specifically.

    2nd Gen clutch options (gen1 clutch on gen2 trans?)

    IT FITS! I ordered a 2009 2.3l clutch kit from RockAuto and everything fit without a hitch! To reiterate, this is on my 2010 MZ3 2.5 6sp. So far so good on the clutch! Yahoo! Hopefully this opens up many new options for the Gen2 guys that need a clutch!

    2nd Gen clutch options (gen1 clutch on gen2 trans?)

    Hey guys, After 124k, and some admittedly rough driving, my factory clutch on my 2010 MZ3 S is slipping when that good torque comes on. Specifically, I'd like to see if a Gen1 clutch will work with the Gen2 2.5/6sp combination. I have perused RockAuto and there are a few clutch kits that have...

    Nigel, the little P5 that could

    I'm sorry guys, Nigel will be no more, perhaps living a good life for someone else. I'll be taking a look at a 2010 Mazda3 S Sport tomorrow. Manual, roof, Bose, all for a good price, and less than half the miles I have now. Hate to leave you guys, but Nigel is getting tired. The cat is...

    Purchasing 2010 Mazda3, what to look out for?

    Hello all, It's time the P5 gets traded in for something nicer, something faster, and something newer! I'm looking at a 2010 Mazda3 S Sport manual, with moonroof and Bose. I'll be taking a look at it tomorrow, and I want to see what I should check in terms of common problems. Unless it's got...

    Some dummy got the wrong end links. Replaced the K80869s with proper K80868s and it drives with some semblance of control. Now I need to replace the RSB and lateral links from the damage that was caused by the longer links. I'll be doing the Progress bar and Megan links.

    Alternator Belt Tension

    It should have no more that 1/2" deflection, IIRC

    Can't Shift Into 1st or 2nd when stopped - after half hour or so of driving

    Make sure you get a stainless steel clutch line. My clutch was super spongey and just replacing that line made it firm and consistent again. I got mine for like $18 on Amazon.

    Hard to start

    Isn't there a vacuum solenoid under the hood for the fuel pressure regulator? Also, it definitely sounds like a weak pump. The S10 platform trucks are notorious for having s*** pumps, I've replaced the pump in all 3 I've had. Long cranking, and priming the pump by cycling the key to run a few...

    Sorry I haven't been updating this, I've been a busy dude, short on time and monies. I have done a few things: I did happen to pick up a brand new Magnaflow cat back for $200 from Amazon, and it sounds beautiful. A little buzzy (gotta check my clamps) but it sounds right. I love love love it...

    The swaybar endlinks were factory, and were just clunking around. After the back end settled, it felt like the swaybar started to actually do something. I did go to the BOO Eternal Reign show, it was sick as **** dude. Also saw Aversions Crown a couple months ago, so that was cool. The headers...

    Resonator delete?

    Removing the resonator will basically make it a straight pipe, which will be raspy and ricey, probably not much better than what you have now.

    Headers check engine light?

    Honestly I bought the OBX dealio from Amazon. It's like $7 and it does the same thing as the non foulers, but it's plug and play. Sent from my LG-VS995 using Tapatalk

    Mustard, the yellow P5

    The power lock button or the uppy/downy lever thing? That thing always gets in my way when I want to hang my arm out the window! I think there's a plastic clip that holds the metal rod in place, you'd have to pull the door panel off and unhook it. However, given these cars and their hatred...

    Nigel, the little P5 that could

    Installing the projectors was like a 6/10. Took about 3 hours total, most of that was on the first one. Just bake the headlight lens off, remove the bulb protector thing, take your Mini H1, put the silicone grommet on the back, thread through the hole, add the H7 adapter, thread the backing nut...

    How much of a drop do those springs give? I couldn't find much info on them. Sent from my LG-VS995 using Tapatalk
