need advice on Tranny problem, 92 stick by ~Mike Hollywood
Hi, I bought a '92 a couple years ago, and it has 85,000 miles on it now. For the past few months it's been getting harder, and harder to shift, and today, there for a while, I couldn't get into any gear at all, but I finally manged to get it into 5th and drove home feathering the clutch at every...

rearview mirror stuck on 1992 miata by ~Mike Hollywood
Hi, the passenger side rear view mirror is manually adjusted, and it is stuck on the ball joint or whatever the stalk is called that it is sitting on. I put some torque on it and it didn't budge. Is it ok to really twist it hard to free it? What's the best way to proceed? Thanks, Mike

'92 doesn't crank by ~Mike Hollywood
Hi, I garaged my '92 in May in Florida, and then left until yesterday. Last night I tried to start it but the battery was dead. I charged the battery over night. It is fully charged now. Turning the key all's ok, fans spin, dash lights go on, etc, but when I turn the key to the last position...

driving question, re oversteering by ~Mike Hollywood
Hi, Suppose you're driving on asphalt. In a rear wheel drive car like the miata, if you go into a turn too fast, and the back starts to slide, what's the safest way to correct? I'm pretty sure you want to stay off the brakes because that would throw more weight forward and lighted rear traction...

Where should worn tires go, fornt or back? by ~Mike Hollywood
Hi, Somewhere along the line somebody told me to always put the best tires on the back because in case of a blow out, you have some control of the frount through the steering, but on the back you have none. So that's what I alwasy did. Today, at a tire store, in conversation, the salesman told...

Hi, I bought a '92 that was crashed. The repair shop didn't replace the airbag. It deployed in the crash. So now the airbag light flashes continuously. How can I make it stop flashing? Thanks, Mike

'92 Miata, surging problem, 85,000 miles. by ~AlicGinnis~
Hi, I bought this car used 2 years ago. It had been left out under a tree, and the drain line from the fuel filler well was clogged. Rain overflowed the well and went into the gas tank. The seller drained the tank, and got it going. I put some alcohol fuel treatment in it a couple of times...

update on '92 stuck mirrors by ~AlicGinnis~
Hi, A long time ago I posted here asking about how to fix my mirrors that wouldn't budge. I was given advice on how to proceed and here's what happened. I started with the passenger side. By sticking a screwdriver in a small slot at the base of the housing the housing popped off its...

what's involved in putting an air bag back in a '92? by ~ Avery Anderson~
Hi, I just bought a 92 Miata that had been in an accident that caused the airbag to deploy. The car was repaired and sold sans the airbag to the guy I bought it from who has been driving it for 4 years without an airbag. Is this something a back yard mechanic can do, or is it better left to...

Ticking noise from RH wheel arch on NA solved by Zog The Undeniable
Driver's side in the UK/Japan/Australia, so it's easier to hear. At first it sounds like an HLA or a stone caught in the tyre tread, but it doesn't vary with road speed or engine rpm. Far more noticeable with the top down. Only does it when the car is under power and on a light throttle...

Changing inlet manifold coolant hose on an NA by Zog The Undeniable
There's one small bore hose which runs under the inlet manifold. It's the only hose I haven't changed yet, because I can't even see the end of it. Any tips? Do you have to go in through the wheel arch?

Alignment recommendations for non-PAS NA? by Zog The Undeniable
I'm having replacement shocks and springs (not lowered; they're original 1990-spec) fitted next week and will need to get the car set up again afterwards. I don't want to alter the normal understeer/oversteer characteristics of the standard Mazda geometry (I'm no Schumacher and as it is, I can...

Ride height by Zog The Undeniable
Here's a bit of weirdness. My 1997 car sat a bit higher at the front than at the rear, so I assumed the springs had sagged. I was given some springs from an earlier (1990) car which measured exactly the specified free lengths and therefore couldn't have sagged. On fitting these the F/R...

Again frozen door weatherstriip. by Zing
We've had some icy misty foggy nights here in NJ. My door weatherstripping on my 2002 Protege had some minor problems with being frozen to the door frame. In the fall I used a rag and sprayed it liberally with Permatex silicone and wiped several times the weatherstripping and door frame where it...

Block drain plug location ?????? by Zing
I want to drain the antifreeze on my 2002 Mazda Protege with the 2.0 litre engine. Yes, I know it is a Miata group, but many have Proteges also. I had a 1997 Protege and the owner's manual showed a block drain under the exhaust manifold. Never did find it. My daughter has the car now. I looked...

On first oil change by zenmartini[_2_]
What sadist decided to put the Miata oil filter where it is? I could barely get my hand under and through..much less any kind of an oil filter wrench. I finally got a pair of dish washing gloves which gave me the leverage but I couldn't pull my hand and filter back out the way I put my hand in.....

Timing belt question by zenmartini
I know the timing belt is supposed to be replaced at 60k. My 2000 is at 75k but the belt is in good condition... no nicks etc. Money is tight at the moment... how much longer can I go before this has to be replaced... I know that I'll be stuck wherever I am but there is no damage that can occur...

Almost dead in my 2000.. by zenmartini
Last Friday I got onto the Garden State Parkway (in Northern NJ) to begin my drive back down to Tampa. As I pulled away from the toll booth and accelerated to about 60, the car to my left veered into my lane. The only thing that I could do was move to the right... really I just reacted and...
