so after my tranny drain and refill i have not been able to shift into secound or at times 4th in higher rpms!!!! its not that cool, so what could be the problem before i go to mazda and pay them 100.00 to tell me?

first i used 75w90 synthetic but it felt like water so i used 75w90nonsynthetic. made it bettter but still shitty and not like it was.

 

what brand?

 

royal purple, then valvoline.

 

RP...there's the problem. I'm not sure about V

 

well i took the RP out and the problom is still there?!!!!

 

i do have royal purple in the diff??? could that be causing somthing or does that take no part in anything to do with shifting?

thing that bums me is that it was working fine before i changed anything...

so i looked under my steering rack and saw that there was some sort of oil that had leaked out of that little hole(with rust around it) why did that happen? could this be the problem in why i cant shift at higher rpms?

 

so i fixed the problem, i bled my master clutch cylinder and it works awesome just like it did...

 

Interesting.

I have had RP in my tranny and diff since I got the car in 05, and never a problem.

 

scratch that, i guess the oil that is coming out of there means that i need a new master clutch cylinder...... problems back
