This is out of a P5 that was totalled a long time ago. I have the subwoofer and the wiring harness all the way up to the front. Sorry, cannot guarantee it is everything you need but it should be close. Just want it gone to a home that will use it. Trade for some good beer and a handshake. If a...

Hi all. BLUF: gathering info on CX-9s and what to look for. We've had a 2010 Mazda5 since new, wife's car. I've also had a Protege5 since '06, and been through it top to bottom (almost at 200k). I do ALL car work myself. So I know Mazdas. We've thinking of replacing the Mazda5. It's just too...

Just installed an adjustable camber kit on my '10 M5. Nothing fancy, just the standard style that adds a screwable end link. Took it to a local shop for alignment. Tech is complaining it's taking substantially more work that normal b/c he has to take the wheel off to have access to the adjusting...

Awhile ago my P5 started throwing a P0455 code, EVAP leak etc. If I clear it, comes back in around 50 miles or so. Since there are tons of things that can cause this and there was no sign of performance change... I did what any red-blooded American would - ignored it(cabpatch) Just this week I...

Just put the trans back together from a rebuild, changed the clutch while it was all apart. Complete clutch kit. If I push in the clutch, it just drops to the floor. I can see the cylinder has pushed all the way out and the lever is maxed. It just stays there like that. Now, I can reach down and...

On our '10 M 5, we have a pretty notable whirring sound that comes from the front of the engine when you put the key to "on" but don't start it. It also goes about 10 seconds after you shut off the engine. I assume this is the fuel pump, but I'm surprised it is so notable, and that it seems to...

Looking for tips on dropping the manual tranny by myself w/o a lift. Also - any trick to getting the passenger side CV out? Not much to pry on at the extension shaft to pop it out. I'm think of maybe unbolting everything except the d-side trans mount, including unbolting teh rear mount, and...

All signs indicate I need a trans rebuild ('02 5spd, non-ABS). Car has 185k on it already. Plan to keep another 3-5 years but I only do 8k/year. Looking to the collective for feedback on what route has proven to be most cost-effective. I am OK w/ pulling & replacing it myself. I have another...

Need an MT for an '02 P5. Apparently this is the model w/ the speed sensor on the transmission (no ABS). I live in NE Maryland, can drive up to an hour radius so that's include southern PA or Delaware. Needed ASAP, will have to order one from a junkyard this week otherwise.

It poking around for diagnosis of my gear issues here http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123849687-P5-transmission-issues&p=6392623#post6392623 I noticed that part of the base of my transmission is sitting directly on the front crossmember that runs between the core support and the...

Awhile ago, my P5 started to randomly pop out of gear. Seemed it was only when in certain RPM ranges. Based on some reading, figured it was a warn syncro (185k miles), and planned to just swap it out w/ a new lowered-gear one sometime soon. My commute is all local so I just avoided 5th a lot...

Tonight I was rotating my tires, and had the front end jacked up on both sides. While tightening the front lugs, I was surprised to find that as I really tightened them down, the tires would actually rotate - it took a lot of force but it would. I know normally w/ a typical open differential, if...

Mod please delete this double post

Does anybody know, or know where to find, the target pressure specs for the Mazda5 A/C? Our '10 isn't quite as cold as it used to be, and there is a notable difference between when it is idling, and running down the road at a higher RPM, at least on a really hot day. My manifold gauges tell me...

Hi guys, haven't poasted here in a long time.. still rockin' the P5! I just replaced my tires w/ some General Tire AltiMax RT43, is the somewhat larger size of 255/55/R16. I specifically went w/ this tire & size to soften the ride and decrease the rather annoying high RPMs in 5th gear on the...

Hi guys. Installing a new CV on the D-side... had to trash the old one b/c it was thoroughly stuck in the back of the wheel hub, which had a trashed bearing. As though that wasn't frustrating enough (having to replace the whole hub and CV instead of a $30 bearing just b/c it was all stuck...

Past time to replace the tires. This round I'm looking mostly for comfort/quiet ride and decent weather handling over super-grip performance, since really this is my wife's car and is used for long family road trips etc (she appreciates a comfy ride more than my, er... "sprited" driving style)...

At 27k on my '10 P5, the OE tires are really shot (like belt almost showing on rears) due to the infamous rear camber issue. It was showing really bad by only 12k but I was so pissed at Mazda when I found out about this "feature" I was determined to stretch them as far as possible. But the time...

Had to replace a wheel bearing, teh old CV was reeeall ystuck int he hub so I ended up replacing hub/CV? LCA etc. Fun, fun. Anyway, I'm having trouble getting the new CV to pop all teh way into the differential - the little C-clip on the end of the splined shaft of the CV axle seems to be...

Hey guys, looking for info on options for swapping 5th gear on the 5spd tranny, G15M-R. Would love to get lower RPMs, not just for better mileage but quieter etc. I know years ago NSN motorsports used to sell a replacement, can't find that anymore. I know it's just a swap from another Mazda/ford...
