    Thanks for vid. Still need to test if it worked but the part i took out was split towards the top . Did go local auto store to buy a small box wrench that would go onto a t20 drill bit style torx. Just secured it to the wrench with electrical tap so it wouldn't fall off. Was able to luckily get the two screws started by hand first. Going back together, started with the bottom one. Screwed it in 80% of the way then moved to the top. The part has gone up in price though. (Bought it 4 months ago lol)

    Pretty good video. I own a 2008 auto PRHT with 50k miles. The trans has never been serviced and the pump whines pretty loud. I'm going to do the service following your example and hope for the best. It is encouraging to see one of these with such high miles. Hopefully this car will last for a while. I am not a young man. This is probably the last car I will ever buy so I need it to be reliable.

    Just did my girlfriend's. My extra piece if advice. Remove the driver seat, makes access much easier. 4 10mm triple square bolts, one pop connector and 2-3 electrical connectors and its out. Takes less than 10 min. And find someone small to help. Girlfriend could get two hands up there where I could only get one. She got the electrical connector and top screw done way easier than I could. I also had a small ratchet meant as a portable bike repair tool that accepts 1/4" hex bits. It fits up there easily.

    Today I fixed my 2016 Touran, same issue as yours, driver side actuator was clicking after ignition on. On hot days most of the times it was switching to cold with AC on, but lately the weather got a little bit colder and it stuck on hot only no matter AC or not. I couldn't find a 1/4 boxed-in wrench as advised, so I used a L-shaped T20 instead. It was a struggle with the L-shaped, but here I applied the "be patient - breathe - take a break" routine and I got the unit out successfully. Then I slapped in the new actuator, struggled again with the top screw, same routine, aligned the gears. Done!!! Btw that metal pipe next to the actuator is really hot, so to avoid burning your hands don't use the car prior you start fixing this. In my case i had to wait a little for the pipe to cool down. Cheers and Thanks!!!

    Thanks for the video. Subscribed. I know on the NB, three of the bolts that hold the filter on go through the control valve, two thread into the transmission body and the third has a nut on top of it that can fall off. Is that the case with the NC/ND filter bolts as well? Or did Mazda fix this absurd design flaw with the SJ6A-EL transmission?

    2011 NC PRHT Auto trans. Dumb question. Car just turned 22K miles as I dont drive much and live on an island so no place to go. Anyway, since buying I have changed oil, tires, struts due to a huge hole in the road. It suddenly hit me one day that while the miles were low I had exceeded the months element on my owners manual. Car drives well but I am wondering should change the AT fluid? Does it break down just due to time? Also, what other things would you suggest I do just for "insurance". Not realy a DIY guy. I have read the cooling system can have issues. My coolant tank looks a little yellow so I figure I will just replace that as well as the coolant. My AC is running but seems to be much less cool than it was initially. Likely low gas/coolant? I like this car and after a few years of health issues want to start to use it consistently again. Appreciate any input. Aloha.

    I highly suggest using a sub woofer with the DML's. I prefer the Dayton Audio DAEX25x4-4 quad/ spider cage exciters, had good luck with them. I also suggest spacing the speakers farther apart and play with proximity to the back wall. For anyone building these I just use coarse thread screws directly screwed into the foam to hang the speakers - no adhesive involved and no issues even with the heavier quad exciters. Cheers

    Hi question yes yesterday I noticed couple of spots of transmission fluid on the floor. I cleaned the floor put the car out side for about 2 hrs put cardboard on the floor ln the garage and put the car back in the garage looked under the car don’t see anything wet and no fluid on the cardboard. Sucks I’ll go to Mazda today to check the fluid how do you check it or is there an indication light something tells you that you have transmission warning it’s crazy thanks You mentioned the check to see if it’s full how won’t it come out if you pull the plug? And if I put jack under car won’t it give false reading?

    • @knowgearsknowglory2862

    You might think only "successful" builds are worth posting, but this is useful as you did what all DML starters will do, the foam panels, and will get not great results. Its always the bass missing. I read you should frame your panels, like with a rectangle of wood around the back, to get bass. The whole audio scene is new to me "crossovers, impedance and ohms, oh my!" lol. I will try a few things but liked for your effort.

All around under $40 and less than hour for a potential $800 repair.

      @DaveSimkus 7 місяців тому

      @ADUSN Thanks. Just finished mine. I did a lot of research and found that Idemitsu Type TLS synthetic fluid is the absolute best. Also, there is a line pressure valve adjustment on the valve body that can be adjusted to a higher setting with just a flathead screwdriver and without taking the valve body out. I adjusted mine and can feel about a 10%-15% improvement in shifting firmness. If you drop the pan, there is no reason not to adjust this setting. Next step would be a shift kit but that could make it too harsh for normal driving.
