Forum: 2009+ Mazda6 Engine, Transmission & Drivetrain

Just a heads up that my car has been diagnosed with a bad right half/shaft @ 7500 miles and will be going in for warranty repairs this week. It's an 09 6 i gt w.manual. No modifications from stock and no non-dealer repairs/alignments etc so not sure what's the cause. Right one seems ok so far. ...

Hey I'm new to intakes, what kinds of intakes are there? Forced induction , CAI .... what do they mean?

Hi everyone, Last week, we had a first look at a 2009 Mazda 6 for short shifter development. We're still early in the process but we'll more than likely look at producing a short shifter adapter mounted on the transmission end of the shifter cables. We basically want to gauge interest in such...

About to do my 2nd oil change. The first was free from the dealer at 3000 miles and now we are at 6000 miles and unless I am convinced to do otherwise, i will be putting in Mobil 1 Extended Performance. Intended oil changes at 5000 miles. thought and suggestions are welcome

If you are driving a 6 with the 4cly & manual can you let me know if you are experiencing the following or can replicate it on your car? Mazda dealer is telling me it's within normal specs but I don't recall it on other 6 manuals I test drove & even if it is in "specs" it's a design flaw as it...

Hey guys, New to this forum, but not to online forums so we'll put the n00b attacks to bed right away. (lol) Just purchased my 2nd Mazda 6, this one being the '09 GT V6 and absolutely love it. My only issue with it so far, is this very weird noise under the hood that comes on and off...

Hey everyone new here my girl just got a new 09 m6 v6. Very nice car. I noticed while running the car has a high pich squeel type of sound comming from the rear of the car. You can hear it standing at the back side of the car, or through the rear passanger side tire. It almost sounds how my...

I drove 3 different 2009 Mazda 6 Touring Sedans all equipped with 4-cyl and 5 speed automatics. All had this roughness, a vibration just off of idle until around 1,000 rpm (when the engine became as smooth as silk) while moving out. Any idea what is going on? Anyone else experienced this? I have...

Hey all, I hope everyone is well and 2010 is progressing well for you all... I am based in London and have a Mazda 6 2nd gen 2.0d SL. Right, where to start. You may have seen a similar post on here before about my engine over accelerating on it's own accord. I am here to ask for everyones...

For the love of god, please give us a 6 speed with the V-6 Its bad enough you took our precious Mazda6 and made it over weight and kinda funky looking, then took away our Mazdaspeed 6, then teased us with a possible AWD Mazda6 but alas, that never happened either. For a company that thrives...

I know this is a Mazda6 forum, but I have the Mazda6 2.5L engine in my 2010 Ford Fusion. It has a just turned 6000 miles and is sitting in the local Ford dealership waiting for a new replacement engine. The problem started with the sound of coolant flowing through the heater core (air entering...

Hello from Canada, Just to let you know that my 6 was used to develop the prototype for the 2009 short shift by TWM Performance. Right now, on the car, I have the stage 2 installed. The throw is reduced and the height of the shifter was lowered. They also replaced the rubber shifter base...

Is it worth $600 for the 4 yr service contract? My wife is scared that we may void the warranty if we do things like oil ourselves.

Has anyone tried this? Does it work?

Hey guys, since we share the same engine, and this sub forum probably has more enthusiasts and mod friendly guys than the one of the cx-9, Im asking this and leaving this thread open. If someone has info out there for the benefit of the people that likes to make their cars faster and powerful,...

I need to reset my ECU, coz when I brought the car to the dealer for 1000km check I lost power. they change something (I'm 100% sure)to reduce performance to insure the car will last until the end of the warranty period with less problems. My car was giving 100% of its ability now its...

I have a new 2009 Mazda 6 4 cyl, which I purchased 8 weeks ago. At 1400 miles, it has suffered had a big decline in mileage and i don't know what to tell the dealer to look for, because they either just can't believe me when I say that the car ever got 20pmg in town, or they seem to think that a...

As I left church tonight the no-key indicator and the TPMS came on now the TPMS light flashes then after a few minutes just stays on.anyone got a idea what this is

I was browsing through the owners manual and noticed that there is no maintenance schedule listed to change the fuel filter or the transaxle fluid. Maybe I'm just blind, but I cannot find this information anywhere. Surely, these items have to be changed at some point. Anyone know where I can...

I have not been able to find a dedicated forum on the web that is specific to the mazda6 s (3.7 liter engine) owners. Has anybody had success? Obviously there is a big difference between the 4 cylinder and the V6. There should be a dedicated forum specific to those individuals that did not even...

Lets see how our 4cyl MPG is: 22, 22, 22, 23 MPG so far All a mix of highway and city. One of the 22s was a bit more highway but at very high speeds. Lets see if it goes up after the break in period.
