Hi. I changed the rear brakes in my 1996 Miata. The parking brake now does not work. The last time I had the brakes changed (someone else did them that time) I thought I remembered the parking brake taking time to adjust itself as the new pads settled in. Is this the case? Does it take time...

The radio on my Miata expired some time back and the previous owner agreed to get me a replacement. Who know one that will fit in the space provided? I'd like AM/FM/CD with presets and not real expensive, is there such a critter? I need make and model number please. Thanks!

I am looking at buying a 2002 Mazda Protege'. When this car was new the sticker said it would get about 36 mpg. It is a 5 speed. Now if you look at ratings it is only rated at 31. Can anyone tell me what kind of mileage I will get. I drive mostly on the highway. Thanks.

I have an '02 SE, Titanium Grey. One of my neighbors down the street has always commented on how much she likes my M2, she wants one. So she and her hubby got serious about a new M2 recently, and I strongly encouraged them to hunt for a deal on a leftover '04 MazdaSpeed. They ended up with a new...

Probably everyone is still in a haze, weary eyed trying to pass liscense tests in the new GT4 but hey ya'all, did you catch that Mazda did the unvieling today. At 11:30 am central time (US). The intro was pretty cool on the live feed, little small and hard to see much but cool to witness it live....

Hello, everyone. I have a 99 Miata, which isn't equipped with a remote. Funny thing is, when I unlock the driver's door, the passenger's door also unlocks automatically, but not the other way around. I guess the passenger side has an actuator, but not on the driver's side. Anyhow, a friend of...

My 95 Miata seems to not be shifting as smoothly as it once did..Kinda' notchy, esp from 1-2 and 2-3..The higher gears are smooth...Really bad when it's cold. Is this something I can adjust or should I let a pro do it?

I welcome any recommendations for Miata mechanics on Long Island, New York. Thank you.

Went to MVD today and got a handicap plate for the Miata. I also renewed the placard so I can use it in my other car(s). There was a bit of a wait but no cost, it was pretty easy and painless. I downloaded the form online and filled it out so the paper work was all done when I got there and that...

'90 Miata w/ 60M. Problem: eng cranks but will not start. Car ran great prior to problem and passed smog test. Problem started to surface as the car became harder and harder to start due to "no spark" each time. NO "CHECK ENGINE" light ever came on when the car ran. Items already replaced: Battery,...

Hey, if the owner of the grey MSM that is stuck in the fox chase train station here in NE philly after the unexpected ice strom is lurking here, I feel for you. I guess my red baby will keep yours company 7 spots over until it thaws. Hopefully before the snow on Friday. Can't believe I had the...

Hi, I've got a 2002 Miata that can have a quick pull to the right or left when I'm coming up to a traffic light or other stop. I doesn't happen all the time, but at times it seems if I were to let go of the wheel, it would completely turn the wheel direction. Has anyone ever experienced this...

Thanks to everyone who responded so fast! Some additional info and areas ck'd thanks to your guidance. The timing belt was replaced @ 45M. I confirmed camshafts are turning when the engine is cranked. Note: when the engine did start, it fired immediatly with not so much as a hick-up. Timing was...

The clutch in my '96 Miata went from being fine in the morning to useless at lunchtime. The clutch pedal feels like there is no pressure at all. The reservoir is full, but the fluid looks dark at the bottom. I replaced the slave cylinder and went to bleed it, but noticed that when the clutch is...

my transmission is gone i wanna replace it but i got a feeling it is very complicateded to do at home

Can anyone tell me if the oil pan for the U.S. 1990-1993 miata 1.6 liter engine is interchangeable with the 1994-1997 1.8 liter engine? Thanks! Pat

My '92 has developed an odd problem. It first started happening when it was raining, so I thought it was due to excess moisture, but it happened today when it was nice and dry. When I let out the clutch in first gear, I hear a squealing sound. It sounds like rubber rather than metal, so I don't...
