Re: Possibly a Head Gasket?
Ordered one head gasket from Rock Auto...noticed there wasn't a valve cover gasket on it, so ordered it also. Will check coolant and oil - thanks. This is my first head gasket change - kinda scared of screwing up the timing, and getting the exhaust bolts off! I read somebody said they could do it in ...

Possibly a Head Gasket?
Alright guys, the moment I start bragging about her, she goes and does a number on me. I'm driving down the road about 60mph, and suddenly get a loss of power, she immediately goes down to about 40 and starts white smoking out from under the hood and out the tailpipe. I drive her home like this, at ...

Re: Transaxle Fluid Leak
Son of a gun. When I filled it, around 2.8 qts, the crazy noise from within stopped. Now that it's leaked out some, the noise has started again!

Transaxle Fluid Leak
Ive got a transaxle fluid leak. I changed the gear oil out of it last month and mixed 50/50 with ATF for easier shifting and winter conditions. I notice it leaks now from where the axles (joint shaft?) go into the transmission housing. Anybody had any experience with this? Trans shifts fine, dont ...

Hello
I have a red 94 MX-3, 1.6 L, 5 spd, DOHC, base, which I purchased for $400 back in May 2009 from a lady in Columbia, TN. It didn't have any hatch glass in it, and rainwater had ruined interior before the owners covered it with a tarp. It belonged to owner's daughter who had took off outta state with ...
