Is it possible for a 2002 LS model to have the optional "sport" suspension package AND a 5-speed transmission? All the info I've seen says the sport suspension package is for the 6-speed tranny only. Jeannie for a friend

Good afternoon, I have a 2002 Miata with the six speed transmission and 16,000 km. Lately I have noticed a stumble when shifting when the car is cold. Does anyone know of any warranties or other dealer information about any fault with this? I have just gone through an unfortunate situation with...

Good day, I had such good luck with a question here before, I am back hoping for some more help. My 2002 Miata SE (blazing yellow mica) was bumped in a parking lot but shows no real damage. However a "piece" of paint approximately 1 inch by four inches has come off the bumper cap - right down to...

I have never seen it mentioned here but my 1.8 has a whine apparently from the transmission at low revs mainly in the lower gears particularly when the throttle is feathered. About 25,000 recorded miles. Anyone got a similar noise or know what it is? Thanks for any help

Does anyone know if Mazda used galvanized body/body panels on the 2002 Protege 5? I have rust forming on the painted surface just above the rear wheel wells on my 3+ year old protege. The corrosion seems to have started at the edge of the sheet metal in the wheel well. I tried to avoid a rusty...

I have a 2002 SE with the 6 speed transmission and about 10K miles. When I let out the clutch in first and sometimes in second the transmission shutters some. It seems to be less noticable when it is warmer and I can avoid it if I keep the RPMs very high 3K+ while letting out the clutch. Does...

I bought my precious Miata in February 2004 new from Jeff Haas. It was murdered by a red light runner in August when it was barely 7 months old. The boot cover is all that's left - it was in the garage at home when the brutal attack occurred. It makes me sad to see it now. So it's for sale - $175...

I have a 2003 mazda in a teal color. best guess, this color was not an option in 03. There is not a color code on the door, but looking behind some equipment, it is the same color. Is it possible this teal is the original color?

I have a problem with my 2003 LS. 84,000 miles. When the engine is warmed to run condition, the enine has a very loud knock above 2100 RPM. I first thought it was the oil control valve for the VVT so I bought a new one. The CEL ( 0012) stopped coming on, but still the noise. I changed the VVT unit,...

What kind of coolant does it take it appears to be orange or pink, is this something that needs to be filled and flushed by the dealer or jiffy lube or similar place? I know GM has dexacool but I did not know of ford using any type other then regular green coolant. It appears that it is below...

Is there any solution to a radio (non-Bose) in a 2003 model Mx-5 that has been disabled to due to a power supply problem ? (Other than replacing the unit...:) ) The unit displays the "ERR" message, rather than the "CODE" message. The published reset sequences and codes for earlier models do not...

I know this has come up here before, but I didn't have a Miata with a Mazda radio in it. I just bought a 2003 Garnet Red LE and the clown that turned it in to be sold, did not leave the Owners Manual or the radio code in the car!! (The D/S ! ) Anyhow, I know there is a way to get the code, or...

I just got an email from my local Mazda sales guy John Griffin @ Jeff Haas in Houston that they have a 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5 that they've marked down from $26,020 to $18,999. It's a this one and this one only cause its been there too long offer if anyone is in the market. He wrote to me because...

I've looked all over for it. There is no sight glass for the air conditioner on the Miata, right?

Has anyone successfully installed a navigation system in a 2004 miata? I just checked best buy's compatibility chart (don't laugh) and it says the system doesn't fit; however checking the measurements i think it could fit as we already have one in our 4runner (yes a different breed than miata). I"m...

So I bought a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and now I need to sell the 97 NA... But I wanted to ask some other MSM owners a few questions...to start off, have you had any problems? Mine has 52,000 miles on it, was a lease vehicle so I think it was dealer maintained. The only thing I have noted thus far...

No problems this time... I wish you and your family all the best for the year 2005 regards Douwe (owner of a '92 Miata) http://reiger.kwebbelt.nl

1428 MX-5 Mazdaspeeds were produced in Hiroshima. Does anyone know how many of each color were produced? Would love to find out....

I've got a 2005 MX5 Turbo that came loaded up with fancy, still like, new Toyo tires and Racing Hart wheels. Total mileage 7000 miles as of 07/2010. I'm considering making this car my daily driver. In which case I'd opt for lesser wheels and a good set of Michelin all weather tires. Any idea how...
