What would be the possible causes for a 5-Speed Mazda Protege to slightly jerk when shifting gears?

May 28, 2007 by Sandy | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

The problem started about the same time the check engine light came on, and it seems to be getting worse.

I've heard a couple of suggestions like I need to change the spark plugs, or try use a gasoline treatment, etc...

I

Take the car to a shop and find out why the check engine light is on and have it fixed. The engine is trying to stall when you push the clutch in and the momentum of the car keeps it going when you release the clutch. You will end up replacing the clutch

2012 Mazda 5: 'Mini-minivan' stays the lonely course

11.12.11

There's a big mistake Mazda continues to make — the lack of a power sliding rear door. A Mazda PR rep said the doors can be opened with one finger, but it's a lot easier to push a key fob button when your hands are full of little ones and backpacks. It would be nice to be able to open the doors as you walk out your back door.

Mechanically, the new 5 is a little different. The 2012 model comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 157 horsepower versus. the outgoing 2.3-liter that produced 153 horsepower. Fuel economy is almost negligible at 21 mpg city for both models and 28 mpg in the 2012 car (up 1 from the 2008 model).

Lackluster fuel economy, especially in a car this small, is the 5's biggest problem. Two full-size minivans, the 2011 Nissan Quest and 2011 Toyota Sienna (with the four-cylinder), each get 19 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. For a lot more room, you get annual average fuel costs of only $306 more В– or less than $6 a week. It's a decision families will need to strongly consider. (The Quest has a starting MSRP about $7,000 higher than the Mazda 5 while the Sienna starts at about $5,000 more.)
