Thank you for the observation. And yes you are correct. What I do on this forum regarding MAZDA is mostly for fun. I already had my marketer
research any potential for a aftermarket line I could engineer and develop and he simply stated that the market was already saturate with mostly junk that would make it not cost effective to offer anything new or improved form what others offered.
Many of the systems and the engine and transmission are the same it is the body that varies the most between most Mazda's. So to say. Oblivious this statement is not absolute. But I trust you know what I am talking about as I have read many responses from you and would say you are "smarter then the average bear" on this forum.
The http to the MAZDA 3 section is my personal project thread. On some threads there are members that at times respond to me without knowing a little more about what I do and know. So occasionally I will use my own thread as reference to support subject of interest I participate on in threads.
As for the DIY, regarding anything beyond a simple pan fluid and filter change on a Transmission IMHO should not be doing a full service replacement flushing the old fluid without the use of specialized Transmission service equipment. This is how bad information grows support information from those DIY that incorrectly perform the fluid replacement flushing and cause damage to the transmission and blame it on replacement of new fluid. Lets think about that for a second? There is only ONE negative result to replacing fluid in any automatic transmission and that is on an already heavily damaged transmission that resulted if the the clutch material almost or completely gone but held in fluid suspension giving continuity to the damage clutches so changing all fluid or doing a flush can and does remove frictional partials that help somewhat of the clutch engagement.
Look when I was developing Performance equipment for some automatic Transmissions we placed a stock transmission usually one from an auto wrecker on a TRANSMISIION DYNO and purposely ran it up to destroy it and then tear it apart to find the weak parts. I never used any transmission for this test that Black-Stone Lab didn't give me a good report about the fluid. Most of those high mileage transmission showed original fluid and particles consistent with clutches badly worn . We estimated the biggest cause was heat and the break down of soft part material on the clutch packs.
One thing I read often on these MAZDA Skyactiv threads service ideas with transmission that are nothing like the ones MAZDA use currently in most all their personal transportation vehicle's. I suggest a few read about the technology and how the MAZDA transmission works before using examples of Ford Broncos or GM transmission to name 2 of many ..... LOL
You built an adapter eh? Well good for you. How many folks on this forum do you think are able to do this themselves? VERY few.
BTW, what's the deal with the link you posted several times above? https://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/new...uote=1&t=44018
That takes me to the Mazda 3 forum about 'things that I like to do'. What's up with that?
