HI guys,can you recommend me any good places to buy a used gearbox for a fb14 car.Tanx

Buy a hybrid and leave that innocent car alone...i'm sure it's your driving style...

no they are so underated for me....

Did you check the transmission mounts?

Don't trust airbag on those models even they show no errors.

It's an error code regarding your transmission.Check the fluid levels.

We need more info? automatic/manual gear?last engine tune up date?may be the engine mounts have invincible cracks inside.

I think the real problems would kick in after like 5 years or so from now when things get old.When all the hybrids comes into a state like all the old japanese vehicles here going through hand to hand for ages,replacing each and every part possible.When all those electrical items starts to lower their efficiency by time giving trouble by that time it will be a mess to identify and replace them,just a thought looking at how it goes.

bump

HI Don they were Gas shocks (pink box)..So will they get better later with use?

HI guys recently i have replaced my car front shocks with japan KYB's.But these new shocks feels every bump on the road..I get a very bumpy and a road feeling..Mechanic didn't put that rubber ring between the shock and the spring,I'm curious if this cause this...The shocks were pressurized before installing.Also the mechanic shows me a play in the axle,and he told me that the busshings inside the transmission are gone.Are these things related to what i'm experiencing now.Before the old shocks starts to fail my car used to feel like a comfort of a benz..I'm curious as to why this happend?

Mazda's are so underrated,for me they are better than toyotas

loose fan may be??Try to allocate from where the sound comes exactly,tell someone to slowly accelerate while you're checking it.service the compressor,check for loosen bolts and things.

ahahhahahhahaahaaa....never lol'd so hard man.....

In my case it's very different.There's no delay in engaging gears.But car stucks and hang on gears on the road.(car pauses) so i had to re-accelerate hard to get it engaged.I found used boxes around 18k-25k for my one.But yeah as you say i have this terrible luck too lol.I will definitely go to above places to check on rebuilding.So i know its all brand new inside.tanx.

did u check starter motor,alternator,battery voltage??

Yeah that's what worried me too..the garages i went recommended me to replace with a japan used one..they said that rebuilding would cost a lot because till you get it apart you don't know which things are damaged inside and end up paying a lot.i will go for a rebuild from above places.tanx

should i go for a rebuild from one of above places??rather than replacing?

Wow i was going to buy a used autobox for my fb14 car.Do you think rebuilding is the best way to go??i'm amazed at this prices because lot of people said it would even reach 70k...

what type of shocks do you guys recommend for an FB14 car..oil/gas?

freaking rats once ruined my car..It can be your car perfume...place some moth balls around where you park the car...and make sure to set your a/c to recirculate mode.try to catch the bastard with a trap.sadly my one found dead if not i would make it spend the best days ever.....

Tanx watchman...I decided to go with a reconditioned one with a warranty.I can't spend months waiting the guys to rebuild it.Hope it goes good way for me.

Does this mean rebuilding may not be successful??um confused

tanx ,good point,what should i do does rebuilding cost way too much than replacing?
