Anyone know if the shifter in a manual trans can be rebuilt? Mine has a lot of play in the ball unit. I can pull it up and down, the rubber moves, and when in geat I can move it side to side almost 3 inches at the nob. Or, anyone got a stock shifter they'd sell me? I don't even know what...

So, I've watched my oil consumption steadily increase over the last few months, and with some colder morning starts I've noticed a good cloud of white smoke coming out the exhaust. Only on startup, and only for 20 seconds. No leaks to be found, but today I noticed that my coolant is also...

I suspect I'm gonna need a pre-cat to pass my emissions. 2002 P5. (I gutted mine) Who's got one in their garage for me?

So, I took the P5 to the shop on Tuesday for the grinding in the transmission. Warranty company finally agreed to cover the repair, good thing, quoted at over $2,400.00. Synchro started to go on 2nd and 3rd, gets really bad when it warms up, like after 20 minutes or so. Occasionally I would...

Anyone know what the thread is on the EGR bung of the exhaust mani? I'm not sure how to measure threads, other than with a thread gauge. That's where I got the 1.5 from: I think it's M17x1.5 or M18x1.5 I stripped the one on my header and want to order a die to clean it up, but not sure...

As the temperature has warmed up in the last week or two, I have noticed some issues with my manual trans. There is a lot of play in the shifter when in 1, 3, or 5th gear. I can move the shifter over an inch forward & back. I can really feel the shift gates as well. Think it's a tranny...

On most cars there is a little spring loaded 'flap' that gets pushed open when you insert the filler nozzel at the gas pump. It's to prevent any debris from entering the gas tank. But I don't have any little flap, I can see right down the neck. Is everyone else's like this or am I missing a...

My accelleration below 2500rpm is terrible, is it just me? or is this normal on this engine. If I idle in 1st gear, approximately 1000rpm, and step on the gas, it accellerates very slowly up to 2500rpm, then finally it will take off. This is very annoying when I come to a rolling stop and put...

I got a Tsudo header from eBay 'cause I'm cheap and performance gains on this car are not worth the money. Anyway, it caused quite an exhaust leak. I removed it and found that the flange at the block is not flat. It's kind of curved so that the middle touches the block tight, but the outside...

I noticed today that my passenger-rear shock boot is all chewed up. Seems like it dried up, cracked, and now the top half is still attached, but the bottom part is in about 9 pieces and sitting at the bottom of the spring. Anyone know if they are replaceable? Or is it just easier to get a set...

Anyone rollin' with these yet? http://cgi.ebay.ca/MAZDASPEED-HELLO-KITTY-EMBLEM-BADGE-DECAL-JDM-RARE_W0QQitemZ260006197549QQihZ016QQcategoryZ33643QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I think my car is losing it... After every time I fill up with gas, my idle will bounce for about 2 minutes. And then the CEL will come on. Let me explain: Drive around all day until gas is getting low. I fill up, replace gas cap, start car. It's idle will bounce from about 0 to 700 over...

Can someone please verify the color of the +/- speaker wires in the front doors? The drivers door has brown & black, the passenger door has red & white. I took the little plastic clips off the ends without noting which was positive and which was negative. :(

I tried to use my key today, (just in case my remotes don't work) and I found something strange: The driver's door will only lock the car. The passenger door will only un-lock the car. I mean, the key will only turn one way on each door. Anyone else have this problem? I've searched the...

Hi everyone, this is my first post, but I've been reading tons of good information here. Quite the community. Question: Is it just mine or are everyone's red gauges really dim and difficult to see unless it's quite dark outside? I've got the dimmer turned all the way up, but it doesn't help...
