Replying to: oldman15 (Aug 10, 2009 6:35 am) P.S.   I had the muffler & reprogamming of the computer done first. I instantly felt the power via rpm accerleration. When I added K&N, that's when hitting 4000 rpm (which is the max torque 135 according to Mazda) the car really responded.   As I said, you love the K&N filter sound so I suggest if you do anything, the cold air filter and the reprogramming of the computer. You won't have complaints about accerleration. The muffler adds a great sound like the Speed 3.   Hope this helps.

Replying to: mustangleader (Apr 22, 2009 11:56 pm) The only thing I did was put on a K&N filter, magnaflow turbo muffler, and had computer reprogammed. Total cost less than $800. For those who comlain ed about lack of power, this adjustment makes the car much quicker.   Hey "mustangleader" - what company reprogrammed your computer?   P.S. - Reading your post really gets me excited for my P5! =) Replies to this message: mustangleader (Dec 05, 2009 12:16 am)
#7846 of 7848 Shutter by emilyanne Dec 02, 2009 (10:12 pm)
Hi!   So I just bought an 02 P5. It has roughly 95,000 miles.   Here's my issue:   When I start driving the car for the first time on a given day, when I shift from 1st to 2nd gear the car shutters/shakes violently. It's only when I shift from 1st to 2nd, and after I've been driving for about 10 minutes it stops happening. Has anyone experianced this? Should I be concerned? Any ideas on why this might be happening?   Thanks! Replies to this message: iamz (Dec 05, 2009 4:21 am)

Replying to: emilyanne (Dec 02, 2009 10:12 pm) I would bring it in to have it looked at as soon as possible. I'm not familiar with the manual 5 speed on the P5 but it might be time for a new clutch considering the miles on your vehicle. If you just bought it, go back to where you bought it from, if it was a dealer. Maybe they will work out a deal and split the costs.
