    Available as an automatic only, the transmission features three modes and is superbly matched to the engine. There is a button which gives a choice between "normal" & "power" mode. When "power" mode is selected, responsiveness to the accelerator position increases as well as holding the gear longer before the next up change. The third mode is a "hold" mode which gives the driver manual control. This is a good feature for demanding driving as well as allowing 2nd gear take offs which help to improve traction during slippery conditions.

    Well, this said it all, didn't it ? ;)

     

    But the 20B is definitely the one to get ! :D

    Heya, at last, I got my computer back...

     

    I "forgot" it 3 weeks ago, and the last pictures I've taken were on it. :whistling:

     

     

     

    So, here they are:

    As you see it's a beautiful green, and the 17" winter wheels fit so nicely on it. :wub:

     

    Now, the hardest part will be to keep it clean, especially this season. ;)

    honestly, we have spent years just trying to track down the 5-spd's, Your the first person on all millenia related sites we know of to ever drive one, let alone own one.

     

    I think xedos came across one once, but not sure if he bought it

    Yeah, I want to see it in person, and take pictures of it. It's such a rare find among an already rare car. :don:

     

    And I guess I'm also the closest to catch that opportunity. :D

    Shinta, PM me when it's fixed. ;)

    Hi all,

     

    I got some BAD news.....my Milly's clutch stopped working some time ago (yes I have a 5 speed manual one).

    It is A Milllenia of 1996 with a 2.5i V6 24V.

    PLZZZZZ, If ANYONE knows where to find a clutch kit for my car, PLZ let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

    I have been searching for OVER 3 weeks now and no place I found it.

    Yes in my country we have it, but it costs OVER €900....makes $1320!!!!!!!!

    PLZ, If anyone knows where to find a cheap, but good one.....MAIL ME as soon as possible.

    If I don't get one within 2 weeks....I'll have to THROW the Milly away.

    PLZ PLZ PLZ, answer this topic FAST...............If you can, plz mail to me (immishinta786@gmail.com).

    You guys are my LAST hope.

     

    HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE

     

    :huh:

    Heya lucky guy in trouble (lucky, cause you have the manual Milly :glare: ) !

     

    Can you elaborate on what's broken in your clutch ?

    Is it the friction disk, the friction plate on the flywheel, the pressure plate, the spring, the cover, the bearing, the fork, the actuator slave cylinder, the hydraulic lines, the master cylinder or the clutch pedal ?

    Or all of it ?

     

    If it's just the disk (as it usually is), it may be quite easy to find an aftermarket replacement, if we know the specs.

    What about this ?

    Thanks MazdaCaddi, Jdubs99 & all :)

     

    Which engine is in it? Or did I miss something? Welcome to the :rollin: of the Millenia.... :shifty:

    Which car are we talking about, in the end ? :huh2::D

    The RX-8 has the 192hp Renesis engine, with 5-speed manual gearbox.

    The Xedos 9 has the 211hp 2.3l V6 Miller cycle engine, with the 4-speed automatic gearbox.

     

    didn't the eunos have a "forest green" or something, but was so dark it looked black?

    It's not so dark as the RX-8's Nordic Green, which really looks black if there is no bright sunlight.

    From the model guide here, I suspect it might be the color 18J - Grace Green Mica Clearcoat. If it's not, maybe it has been repainted...

    It's like the Emerald here: MX-5 Emerald Green

     

    And, though it was first licensed in 2001, it's most probably a 2000 model, if not 1999.

    (btw, does anybody have a scan of the 2000 User Manual and/or Workshop manual ? The car was delivered with a Xedos 6/Eunos 500 User's manual :noidea: , and I see already many differences from the 1996 Workshop manual.)

    Heya !!!

     

    I've got it yesterday afternoon ! :w00t2::thumbup1:

    And the paint is indeed a dark metallic green, so british.

     

    I'll try to make better pictures someday, but this weekend was too much cloudy and rainy.

    And the few moments it was not raining, I put my RX's winter wheels on it.

    17" 225mm wide, so nice. :punk:

     

    Anyway, for an automatic, it's fun to drive. I like it already...

    See if they'll let you take the xedos around spa

    Betcha ! ;)

     

    Is that a solid dark green? Or metallic?

    Yes, I think it's metallic.

    But definitely not mica as on the RX-8.

     

    I'll know for sure on saturday, when I'll fetch it.

    I've got the bank's green light today. :clap:

    Hi all, I come here because this site is a gold mine concerning the Millenia/Xedos 9.

    I'm buying this one in a week...

    But my other everyday ride is the (still) young RX-8 by MAZDA too.

    Here is a picture I took of it in its early days:

    More here

     

    I'm retiring it for some months to give it some well deserved mechanical attention.

    It has almost 102.000km already, with some track days in the engine and the gearbox...

     

    Cheers,
