I took my Mazda3 CPO back to the dealership a week after purchasing it since the shifter vibrates while accelerating in the 3rd gear. They replaced the shifter assembly, however that obviously did not solve the issue. I took the car back to them and fought to get them to acknowledge the issue...

I have a weird problem....When I removed the manual transmission from the engine of my 2004 Mazda 3 with the 2.3L engine, I placed the bell housing bolts in bags and labeled them. For some reason, I placed one different looking bolt in a separate bag. It was longer than the rest. Reassembly got...

Hi guys, I got a manual 2.5 M3 GT. Usually when I shift through the gears, the shifter goes into the gear slot (from neutral) with 1 smooth notch and that's it, like it should in an ideal world. However, sometimes I feel like there is a 2nd notch as the gear leaver travels from neutral into...

My brother recently bought a 2011 Mazda 3 hatchback. I looked over the car and found a plug coming out of the manual transmission that didn't have anything connected to it. I couldn't find any connectors near it that could plug into it. I was wondering what the plug was for and if it was needed...

Hi there, I was changing my manual transmission fluid the other day and noticed what looked like a gouge in the transmission case. I can't tell if it is part of the design of the transmission, or if it is damaged. Any thoughts? Good news is that it is not a leak, as 2.5l of fluid came out of...

Hi, My 2005 Mazda 3 won't go into drive until the engine warms up. I live in Puerto Rico so ' cold' is relative :) Typically it may take a few minutes to warm up enough but since starting a night job it takes forever late at night when its actually cool outside. It goes into reverse just fine...
