Reverse Piston Return Spring
It is not uncommon to find a broken return spring for the reverse drum during teardown (figure 1). Mazda has
recently upgraded this spring to a thicker design (Mazda part number FU9A-19-551). The first design spring
measured .035" in thickness while the second design spring measures .065"

The second design spring will retro-fit all years of G4A-EL, G4A-HL and 4EAT transaxles.

NOTE: Some units use one return spring while others use two springs stacked together. It is important to note
that due to the extra thickness of the later spring you can install only one spring into the reverse drum.

Old spring thickness .035”


New spring thickness .065”
New spring part number FU9A-19-551
