It just seemed odd to me, you would be the only person having performance stuff for a Mazda Millenia. I have had my car for 5 years now, and have had to custom make almost everything for it, the Cold Air Intake, headers, etc...

There is a little plastic clip (cable end) that holds the linkage to the transmission shifter assemble (on the transmission) Hard to see, it is under the resonator box for the intake.

Starter is a friggin' bitch to get out. lots of skinned knuckles

 

the starter on the 2.5 is a piece of cake however.

 

i just replaced a door actuator on the rear door, PITA. stevester, didnt you need to do this too?

 

Can you do the starter from above, or do you attack it from under? On the S it is done from above, but is much easier once the rear intercooler is removed. Maintenance manual omits that part ;)

oh look timing belt, different from the other belts.

 

done at 60k, 100k if your cheap, when it breaks if your ghetto.

 

One of my biggest fears is the VCG's leaking someday, its not something I would attempt, so 500 dollars to the dealer, infact it would probably be a 900 dollar trip as I would have the belts changed at the same time.

 

that is unless mts or someone THAT HAS DONE IT BEFORE would like some extra cash at a meet or something

Metal in mine too. I have changed the radiator in the milly, and it is a bitch to do. Hardest car to changed the radiator in. I dont even want to think about the work needed to change the timing belt, rear VCG's and motor mounts

 

Rad was easy in a 2.5 took all of 90 minutes. that was including KFC.. .. ..

I have to do my VCG and spark plugs.... maybe this weekend.... along with the shifter linkage. But I am looking for a shortcut to this... cuz did I ever beat the shit out of the one in the junkyard trying to get it out... center console, stereo, ECM, Airbag Sensor module, intake, battery.... all have to come out for this swap :angry:
