@Cfoldone I appreciate the feedback. After further research, I agree that it may be possible to determine if the EGR is working by cycling it between the completely open and closed states assuming that they have a stall detection chip. A regular dc motor is quite simple to detect a stall in...

I don't want to be a downer, but I believe the technique of shoving a tube in the EGR is a placebo and it was a completely fluke that it worked. Looking at the Service manual for the Mazdaspeed 6, the two codes P0401 and P0403 have nothing to do with the positioning or backpressure of the EGR...

Does anyone know of other trusted retailers for the VCM II? It appears that the shop referenced in the video you provided is out of stock. Also, I am blown away by this write-up. I didn't know pairing the ECU and HEC was in the scope of an end-user!

Sadly, I do not have my removed transfer case with me as I have moved since making this post, or else I would give you the exact spec. I do have the workshop manual though and know that the tightening torque is 31 - 45 ft*lbs (page 4731). I am sorry I couldn't be more help but here is a link to...

Once I have repaired the extra transfer case I have and replaced the broken one in my car (who knows how long that all will take) I plan on making a more informative and organized post on the MS6 How-To thread with all of the knowledge I have gathered through this experience and have attempted...

@silverman6222 Yes, I figured out the difference. The answer is that there is no difference. The outer ring is the input drive gear for the transfer unit, the power going to the rear wheels is sent through it. The inner gear is the joint shaft which sends power to the front passenger wheel. Some...

Thank you @Sho. That diagram confirms the part numbers quoted in the two videos I linked (Assuming that the last digit to the outer passenger side seal is an '8'). It appears to be missing a number.

Although I agree with @Ssinstaller, if you are curious as to how to rebuild the transfer case I have attached the Trans and PTO Service Manual. Pages 15 to 46 go step by step on how to disassemble and completely rebuild the transfer case. The manual is incredibly informative and may also help...

Can someone also confirm the part numbers I included in the previous post? Because when watching these videos. MazdaSpeed 6 Transfer case Billet Cap Install Reseal how too Part 1 MazdaSpeed 6 Transfer case Billet Cap Install Reseal how too Part 2 He claims that the passenger seals are...

Attached is a pdf download of the old thread. It is kinda confusing though since at points there seem to be remarks that contradict what was said earlier in the post/ thread. What I got from it though is that I need to replace my passenger (inner) side seal for sure (LN01-27-238). Also, I need...

Important Edit: My rambling here is not important. Find the message from @Sho it shows all seals needed to re-build the MS6 transfer case. If you just want to half-ass the job the only parts that truly need to be replaced when using a CX7 transfer case in an MS6 are as follows: passenger side...

Also, I should include a copy of the forum post from MazdaspeedForums.org that sparked my interest in this topic. Sadly because they closed recently I can't provide a "working" direct link. Attached is a pdf I saved of the page through the use of the wayback machine. You will notice several of...

I don't know why are people disliking your comment. I came to this forum to ask just that!! From what I see viewing the Jim Ellis store they are identical yet I hear of people having to switch seals, intermediate shafts, and driveshaft flanges. Also, there are reports of some CX 7 transfer cases...
