well my shifter's been really loose since I purchased about 1 yr and 1/2 ago, dunno if thats part of the problem. Here's my jiff I cannot seem to shift to any gear and my clutch pedal has gotten a little soft<--this happens about 50 % of my driving time the other 50 % the car works fine dunno wtf .when this problem happens I jam the stick into 3rd and drive the rest of my journey on 3rd. my car is currenty on front of my house I cannot shift to any gear at all. Any know what this could be???please help me! thanx

bleed your clutch

bleed your clutch

i had this exact problem when i did my motor swap.....i had no idea about the bleeder valve, check it and bleed your clutch, also make sure your brake fluid is full as brake fluid=clutch fluid
good luck

thanx for your replys. I've noticed I've been leaking clutch/brake fluid from the clutch release cylinder for some time . I filled the fluid reservoir but fluid keeps leaking from the boot that covers the push rod . I think it might be time to head over to the mazda dealer/ junkyard for a new part.
