+1 for the new engine mount. It helped my car's clutch feel soooo much.

I've never had a problem with gear changes or the clutch but then my previous car was an XR6 Turbo. After I had test driven the MPS i got back into the XR6,put my foot on the clutch and thought it must have been on the brake because it didn't move!

I do find that I need to blip the accelerator before moving off in order to avoid stalling.

Agree!! Clutch adjustment easier than it sounds

My clutch lasted 93000 km before it just died. Pulled it out to find it had sheared the rivots. Tossed the lot in the bin and fitted an Exedy kit which included a new flywheel. (cost a bloody fortune but everything for this car does). Since the the new clutch was fitted the take up is good, still quick but consistent. don't know why mazda couldn't get it right.

Exedy FTW!!! Did you go the Heavy duty, or standard?

I also find reversing is far easier with the Exedy than standard... though I think when my old throwout bearign collapes the slave cylindetr may have gotten damaged, as it seems a little "sticky" when returning...
