I recently changed my fluid in the transmission with Vfalvoline Synthetic Blend Gear Oil 80W-90. Now the transmission is very hard to shift into 2nd when it's cold. After a few miles of driving, it's fine. Also, prior to taking off the tranmission can shift into 2nd with no problem. But once I...

could anyone tell me how to remove the cigarette lighter from a 2004 MX5. We think the earth wire is no longer connected so need access. Fuse is intact but no power to the lighter.

Problem - Car has been pushed into a non-paved carport, suspension has been removed first, now the engine needed to be pulled to be sold. The customer has a lift, but it will not roll at the front of the car and there is not room to back his truck up to it. Bad planning, if I had backed it in,...

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...

I bought a used radio for a 2000 Mazda Protege. It will likely need a code to unlock it once installed. There is a procedure that works for my Miata radio (easily found on the internet), but I haven't found one for the Protege radio. Does anyone know where I can find the general code to unlock...

Hi All, It is with greatly mixed emotions that I report that I sold my '07 PRHT Miata today. It just wasn't working out with us. She was a good girl... but not completely my type. I had called my dealer and expressed my dissatisfaction with the car. They actually arranged for one of their...

My EGR light goes on whenever the gas tank drops below 1/2 full....I fill it up and the light goes off....anyone have any ideas??

Nice weather after two weeks of cold and rain. After I nice lunch time drive I got back to the office to find that one of my co-workers had managed to stuff a 21 inch, brand new, Crafstman mower into the passanger seat of his NB. Amazing.

Anybody pulled the console out of an NC yet? Can't find anything in the Miata.net garage except: 09-17 CONSOLE REMOVAL / INSTALLATION From the Workshop Manual, but with no accompanying scans from said manual. Also want to remove the grille. Can't find anything on that either. thanx
