Replying to: madsedan (Dec 10, 2008 7:10 am) see this link for the message with the part number they need to replace. If the link does not work it is number 526 under the mazda 5 owners accessories & Modifications folder.   http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef90f53/525

Replying to: madsedan (Dec 10, 2008 7:10 am) Yes, your description exactly matches our experience in every detail. The new lock actuator seems to have worked perfectly for about one month now. Replies to this message: vasselle (Aug 18, 2009 7:43 am)

#127 of 144 How long before changing transmissioin fluid? by blynmazda5 Jul 31, 2009 (3:39 am)
I have a 2006 5 AT with 33K miles 75% city driving.   There is no recommended time to replace the transmission fluid on the maintainence schedule. Have others changed the transmission fluid?   How can you tell when it's time? To be honest I haven't checked the fluid since I first got the car. Three years ago when I checked it for the first time, I was surprised that it was clear and not red. Yesterday when I looked at the fluid it looks a bit dark, not red. There is no smell to it and it feels smooth to the touch.   Thanks for the feedback.   Gideon Replies to this message: vg33e power (Jul 31, 2009 6:59 am) txf23 (Aug 12, 2009 3:01 am) vg33e power (Aug 12, 2009 6:35 am)

Replying to: blynmazda5 (Jul 31, 2009 3:39 am) I personally change (drain and refill) mine every 15K miles or 1 year. Call it over kill but this is what my older Honda (1996) called for and I adopted that interval for my Mazda5, plus I don't see a problem having clean fluid every 15K miles. It doesnt cost much and it only takes a few more minutes to do it when your doing your oil change (if you are a do-it-yourselfer).

#129 of 144 Rear Doo by kivo Aug 09, 2009 (3:55 am)
Has anyone had a problem with the rear door not closing? No matter how hard I slam it, it does not close all the way and the dashboard light is on. Any suggestions? Thanks

Replying to: vg33e power (Jul 31, 2009 6:59 am) What type of AT fluid do you use? Replies to this message: vg33e power (Aug 12, 2009 6:35 am)

Replying to: txf23 (Aug 12, 2009 3:01 am) If you use Mazda OEM fluid it is what they call M-5 ATF, but all it really is Mercon-V, which you can find under Motorcraft at any Autozone.
#132 of 144 Re: '08 Mazda5 GT [gsupstate] by nissmazlover Aug 17, 2009 (1:05 pm)
Replying to: gsupstate (Jun 13, 2008 3:33 pm) Congratulations! Enjoy! I have to say that I agree. When I upgraded from my '06 Touring Auto to my '08 GT, I immediately noticed a difference in quietness, smoothness and the more substantial feeling you're talking about. Totally true! Feels like a higher quality vehicle than the model before it. I wonder how much nicer the next one will be!
#133 of 144 A/C Problems by nissmazlover Aug 17, 2009 (1:09 pm)
OK, so I hate to say it, but I'm having problems with my Max (that's my 5's name). We've been having really hot weather here in NYC - finally! (this summer's been weak) - and, just as Murphy's Law would have it, my A/C's not working properly.   When on the "fresh air" setting, the fan blows normally, but the air that comes out isn't anywhere near as cold as it was, or should be. And when on "recycle/max" mode, the whole system weakens to barely as strong as a one blowing out of one's lips! Plus, the whole system then sounds clogged up and very strained. So, we're contending with frowns and sweaty back while riding in our 5. What do you think it could be? The A/C compressor?   I'm taking it to Mazda on Friday, but I REEEEEEALLY don't wanna hear or read the dreaded words: "Unable to replicate problem", or I might just go all "Falling Down" on the service team!
