Gears sticky when changing, sometimes crunchy even?

Hi there:
From your description I would say the clutch is failing. If the engine speed increases when it's in gear and the vehicle doesn't that is also a tell tale sign it's the clutch.

Test it and check if some fault code is stored in the PCM and TCM.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Can you ajust a 1992 mazda 323 clutch ( 1.3 hatchback } If i put the car in gear and start it , it start to move on its own

If you have the clutch fully depressed and the car moves you definitely need a clutch adjustment. I'd go to www.autozone.com and register for free. Once registered you'll have access to DIY repair manuals and shop manuals. Look through these and you may find you can make the adjustment yourself.

My 1992 mazda astina 323 pop up lights wont go back down. they turn on and off okay, but wont go down

You can check the switch first because there have 2 switches. 1 is open the pop up lights and another 1 is switch on the light. if the switch is functioning well then you must check with the motor which at the side of the light.

Sounds (i can't know for sure unless i can test it) like a bad relay or a connection is broken. Have you checked underneath the hood in the fuse box in the engine bay?

It looks incorrect clutch adjustment, first inside the car depress the clutch pedal by hand and see if there is a free play moor then 10 mm, if so , slacken the locknut at the cable end in engine compartment, now turn the adjustment nut until the distance from the release lever to the roller on the cable is about 3mm, tighten the locknut after adjustmen
