transmission

I have a VERY exciting announcement! **Dog Box Development** Looking at the past year with Contrive Design Innovations and looking to the future into 2025, I stated I wanted to bring innovative and novel motorsport inspired projects to the Mazdaspeed community. While I am deep in the AWD Kit...

I'm trying to identify the source of this buzzing sound. Setup: -Gen2 gearbox rebuilt and fitted with a Quaife lsd. Fitted on my gen 1. -Rey's cables. -CS stage 2 rmm. Hardrace (OEM+, full rubber) side mounts. It shifts perfectly, works well, no problem. Oil is fresh - Motorsport CRX LS 75w90...

I've found a leak from the transmission sensors, but I'm unsure if it's one or both of the sensors leaking. I'm also curious how these leak and if tightening these up with some Teflon tape would suffice or if these need to be replaced outright. These are the original sensors that came with the...

7 months ago I had a very trusted and reputable performance shop install a clutch on my speed3, I went with the classic Luk+Fidenza combo, well one day last week doing pulls it slipped badly, and still does only in full WOT tho, normal driving is perfectly fine still, I need help on what could...

Hey guys, big oopsie here. So basically around may/June sometime I bought the kit to replace the pivot shaft bearing, breather, and seal. Install seemed to go fine as far as I could tell and I didn't think I lost much trans fluid doing this but had a weird noise that would occasionally happen at...

So last Thursday on my way to work I was doing 75 in cruise control, got passed by a Z and started to accelerate. Started hearing a whirring noise and then a bang. Pulled to the side of the road to wait for the tow. Engine revs to 6.7k no problems, but nothings getting transferred to the wheels...

Hey whats up guys n gals im new to the MPS community and hella excited to be a part of it. Movin on though, i just got my car 4 months ago and im loving it(2012 Mazdaspeed 3). But i was wondering has anyone tried switching to awd? Ive seen like 1 forum on it and i believe its actually on this...

Hey guys, I'm in the process of changing my clutch and cannot remove the passenger axle due to the bracket being stuck onto the engine. I removed the 5-6 bolt that attaches it to the block but it seems it's stuck or something. I've tried hitting it with a dead blow hammer and moving it back and...

So I have a 06 ms6, basically stock minus a rmm and some suspension bits, I've been planning to do my trans and passenger mounts this week, but recently after just driving the car around town normally 3rd gear kinda felt like it didn't have a gate, it goes in smooth but there's this "pressure"...

New member, just picked up a 2012 Speed 3 a few months ago. Just a bit of background- I learned stick maybe 10 years ago but this is my first manual that I have owned, so while I can certainly get around, I am still a noob. The problem I am having is 2nd gear grinds with the clutch all the way...

I own a first gen speed 3. How much transmission fluid should I buy and what type should I get? I'm going to be fully replacing the fluid. Also how much power steering fluid should I put in after a flush?
