95 mtx 80,000 miles hard shifting

[nastystroker]

Is there a way to adjust the clutch cable? And my shifter feels sloppy. This is the first mtx ive had so i dont know how the shifter should feel like. any help would be great. thanks

i have heard that you pull up on the clutch pedal...

if its hard to get into gear, it could be the clutch going out.

clutch is supposed to be new. if i put the pedal all the way to the floor and let the rpms down it will go into gear. I did a search and im hearing the clutch cable can be adjusted but no one seams to tell how to do it. i have tried the trick of pulling the pedal up up nothing happend with that. do they have problems with cables stretching?

Cant help you with your clutch problems but these shifters generally feel pretty sloppy in stock form. Thank you Mazda

have any of these cars ever shifted well in stock form? Seems like no one's mtx shifts perfectly smooth

Put some Royal Purple Max ATF in your trans, drain what you have and re-fill with this stuff. Night and day difference on how smooth it makes the shifting feel. My trans has over 200k on my 91 and never felt better.

honestly my mtx been rebuilt under 10k ago and i still got a stock clutch and flywheel etc no quaif and it shifts like silk even after my 3.2 atx to mtx swap.
and my shifter is real tight just where i like it... i have no complaints with my mtx
as long as you remember rev has no syncros and you shift to 5th before rev your all good
