6 mps breakdown hard shift 3rd gear.

No doubt it's a fault. The versatune guys have written about it being an aggressive self protection feature that pulls too much timing - or something like that, I don't really remember the details. But I'm quite sure it wasn't there in the beginning. It appeared in my car after the second Mazda de-tune, I mean MMDS update at 20,000km. If there are 2005/2006 cars around that have never been back to a Mazda dealer for a service it's likely they remain unaffected by the hesitation.

Possibly to protect the clutch/transfer case from people smashing between gears under load. Interesting to hear that it can be solved with a versatune. Cheers!

Ok, i took some pics for you guys. Its kinda hard to see where the pipes go past the radiator support with out taking the front bar off or jacking it up and removing the stone guards .

Nice work man, pity about the grille in the front bar being filled in on the top half subtracts from the awesome look of the front mount.

Engine bay looks all empty without the top mount lol...

Have you found any gains from the FMIC or negatives like spool time etc?
How much did it set you back?
Is it the same as the ones selling on eBay?
