Unfortunately, I dont have a nice scan tool that can trigger a KOEO (Key on engine off in case anyone else comes along this thread, and yes I had to google it lol) unless theres another way to trigger it... maybe plug in my PS2 controller and go up up down down O X X O select start I have a...

*** Year/Make/Model: 2007 speed3 Mileage:~180k on chassis, ~10k on my garage built engine Location:SOCAL: moderate temp, no humidity, no altitude Concern: Car seems to surge at partial throttle. Probably a coincidence, but it seems to happen in fourth gear mostly DTC's: None Modifications: Built...

UPDATE TLDR: the first gen trans and second gen trans have a slightly different 1/2 fork Its been a little while, but I wanted to give an update for anyone doing the same thing i did. I bought a used, untouched second gen trans. I decided to put brass fork pads in it because, you know...

Yeah stocking out would be one way to ensure passing but that means I'd have to change my turbo, downpipe, intercooler, and if I get a new intercooler that too. Working on cars is fun but redoing work sucks. Does anyone know what the ecu does to pass the readiness monitor on the Egr?

Lol yeah thats what I am going for... Carb """legal""" Lots of good ideas. How would you go about making a port on a plastic ST manifold? That point about vacuum makes sense, so does Egr just stay shut if you're making some boost? And I have heard a little about porting the stock manifold and...

I live in the wonderful golden state of California, where I can't legally pass smog with a single emissions readiness monitor that doesn't pass. But I also have a speed 3 that I am stocking up on parts for a "big" turbo swap on (cst4). I would like to keep all the emissions equipment so that I...

Thanks for the tip! I actually forgot I had the workshop manual and it had this (see attached) which will be helpful but nothing of the trans guts

Hello all, I have recently bought a second gen trans to stuff into my first Gen speed 3. I decided to do the fork pads and take a look at bearings/syncros while I had the trans out (looks pretty good from what I can tell). This video has been a great reference so far As I start to put it...

Oh wow! What kind of issues? Like falling out in the trans? Premature wear? Tolerances being off? Something like that

Hahaha I love Hondas but I did end up replacing a trans cuz it just decided to spin a bearing @Easter Bunny. This whole Mazda thing has been pretty great too Hmmm trans specific rtv? What's the difference? I've only ever torn apart transmissions on dirt bikes so far. Also sorry if you have...

^^ wow this looks like a gold mine. Looks like i have some reading to do tonight lol the guy with the second gen trans says it has brass fork pads already in it and was rebuilt by speed solutions but im always a little sceptical... but that may be the way i go also where did you get parts...

Hello! I am having occasional second gear pop outs on decel and consistent second gear grinds when the trans is cold. I already tried adjusting the shifter cable responsible for left/right movement (couldnt find info on adjusting front/back movement), so from what i hear most likely fork pads. I...

I just ended up stuffing the trans back in the car and hoping for the best... She's still on jack stands at the moment but I figure if I start having problems I'll probably just buy a used trans and to from there mainly due to the lack of parts availability. I think if I had to do a rebuild...

Well thats promising! I've heard these transmissions are pretty strong, but with an unknown history on it I wanted to at least do bearings and seals. I would hate to get it together just for one of the bearings to quit cuz the previous owner didn't keep up on maintenance or something. Do you...

Hello! I bought a 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 with a blown engine as a project car a month or so ago and I figured I'd just go through the whole powertrain while its apart and have a fresh engine and trans. I am at the stage where I am starting to price out the trans rebuild, but can't seem to find parts...
