    Recommended Transmission work?

    I just picked up a MSP6 and I think I need to swap out the clutch. It's current issue is that the clutch won't disengage so I am assuming the clutch got cooked to the pressure plate. I had to drive in home with rolling starts and rev matching shifts. Is there a pretty good change the Flywheel...

    leak from trans.

    I went to change the trans fluid on my P5 and noticed a leak coming from around the end of the transmission. I don't know what the part is called but it's number 15 in the diagram on page 05-15A-4. Can someone identify this part for me so I can see if a new seal is available and how to service...

    Like the title says. My backlight for the LCD screen went out. Looking for a replacement on the cheap. Just need it to have red illumination and the rectangular slot for the md/tape player (I know some have a trapezoid slot). Doesn't matter if it's single or muilti-disc as I'll just switch...

    Radio illumination doesn't work

    I took my stock radio out to put in an auxmod-like component in and now the lcd screen doesn't light up. The buttons and everything still illuminates but the LCD doesn't. Is this a common problem? The numbers are all there but there's no light. Also would be interested in any stock decks for...

    Headlight help. P5 conversion to H4

    My 03.5 P5 was purchased with the H4 conversion already done by the previous owner. However prior to today it was running with the high beam lamps lit when the lights were turned on. If I'm correct, when the low beams are on only the low beam filament burns. When the high beams are switched...

    Sway Bar fitment

    I just bought a replacement rear sway bar link kit from Autozone and it does not fit. The part number is SL584. It seemed like kind of a stretch between the strut and the sway bar so I compared it to the other side which is OEM and the new one seems to be an inch longer. According to...

    Headlight help.

    The new P5 I just got seems to have some headlight issues. It was in a front end collision and I think they replaced them with sedan lights off of ebay. It looks like they aren't on ebay anymore but I saw them a few weeks ago. They were the ebay specials for less than $100 a set. They take...

    92 pro LX runs rough when it rains.

    This has kind of been an ongoing intermittent problem for the past few months. Sometimes when accelerating from a dead stop my car will seem to stall. It never cuts out but the RPM's seem to stick and not climb regardless of how far I'm pressing in the accelerator. This usually occurs for...

    Body shop guys! Help w/rust.

    The new protege 5 I just picked up seems to have a little bit of rust on it. It's in one of the oddest places and I was wondering what could be done. It seems the seam for the hood is rusting where it folds over the skeletal structure of the hood. It's just on the front underside where it...

    Homemade coolant flush machine?

    I was just thinking. Would it be possible to make an apparatus similar in function to shop coolant flush machines? I've always done a poor man's flush but watching them use the machines at work I thought maybe I could make one cheap. From the looks of it it seems you seperate the upper hose...

    Spare tire sub - risers vs no risers.

    This was inspired by the other thread about the spare tire sub. Something in the thread was mentioned about the risers with the sub. I looked at my car (w/sub) and was wondering if there would be a sound difference if I pulled out all the risers and organizer in favor of trunk space. It...

    What size steelies for 03.5 P5?

    I'm looking for some steel rims for winter tires. I know what bolt pattern, diameter, offset, etc I need but what steel rim off of what car is going to fit? I guess there aren't any local junkyards that organize their rims by size instead they label them for cars they came off of. I think the...
