Gear STUCK in REVERSE (Trans, Clutch, or ???)
Here's the story. I got the CV joints replaced in my 94 mx-3 from AAMCO. Shortly after I noticed some fluid that was always on the ground wherever my car was parked. I wasn't sure if it was oil or another fluid--so I figure I would wait a few days until I could take it to to a shop. Shortly after, I...

AC Compressor Does not Turn On???
I have a 1994, V4. The previous owner installed a seperate switch (accessible near the daskboard) to turn on the AC compressor. It was working fine, until a few days ago. It seems as if turning on the switch no longer turns on the AC Compressor. Before, it was obvious when teh compressor was turned ...

Re: PROBLEM: Gear shifts to neutral from 5th gear sometimes
I thought the clutch fluid and transmission fluid are the same? Same container? That's what someone told me? Not so? Where would the trans fluid be? The problem is getting worse--now it does that in other gears sometimes.

Re: PROBLEM: Gear shifts to neutral from 5th gear sometimes
I checked my fluid, and it's at adequate level (mid level)--so I dont think I need fluid--regardless I filled it up to Full. However, I think I may need to flush the fluid, as the fluid appears a little browner than normal. I posted another message, asking how to flush...cuz i dunno how. Hopefully t...

HOW TO?: Flush the brake/clutch fluid?
I want to flush my brake/clutch fluid on my 1994, 4 cylinder, 5 speed. I see a total of 3 hoses (2 skinny metal ones, and 1 thicker one (rubber?)). How do I go about draining the fluid so I can put brand new fluid in there? Do I take out the thick hose, and let it drain....will this cause any proble...

PROBLEM: Gear shifts to neutral from 5th gear sometimes
(I posted this in another topic because it is an unrelated problem, and may help future visitors diagnose this same problem quickly.) I have a 1994 Mazda MX-3, 4 cylinder, 5-speed manual . Whenever I travel on the interstate, travelling over 60mph, hence in 5th gear, the gear shifts to neutral autom...

PROBLEM: Acceleration is jerky, esp at lower RPM
I have a 1994, Mazda MX-3, 4 cyc, with 105k miles. For the past few weeks, my car jerks sporatically when I'm accelerating. I've also noticed my fuel economy has slightly decreased as well (not sure if its related). The jerking only happens when accelerationg, and seems to happen more often at lower...
