MPS 3 Gen 2 Clutch Problems?

[greenzook89]

Has anyone had anyone had any problems with the clutch on their MPS? I've got a Jan 2010 MPS with 26,000 on the clock, just the last couple of weeks the clutch has been "taking up" inconsistently, thought it was the fact i was driving the SS around during the week and wasnt used to the MPS, But my Mrs who drives "Essy" every day reckons its been doing the same to her.

Anyone had a similar problem?

I have the same year, model and I'm at 23,000ks.
Not noticed an issue yet, but I will be checking it now

Just a thought, i've had mine awhile now and had a clutch replaced at 20,000km (its now sitting 35,000) it was making this squeeking noise that was only evident at times. Had to take it in a few times for them to figure out what was going on. Mind you, warranty work for clutches are a pain in the arse to deal with as Mazda Aust will only put the blame on either: 1. ur driving style 2. you tracked it. and ive never tracked mine. Anyway, its a thing that you will never know if its wrong until u pull the damn thing apart.. That said, the MPS does have a pretty dodgey clutch that you have to get used to using.

Same year model here, same K's. The clutch is just crap. I was driving my housemates XR5 more smoothly after 2 minutes than I ever can in my MPS, then him trying to drive my car is just pure comedy.

If you haven't already, a rear engine mount upgrade helps a lot with clutch feel but also transmits a lot more vibrations into the cabin so it's not without drawbacks. My guess is the MRS won't like it at all.

End of the day, our cars have fairly crappy vague clutches. There isn't anything "wrong" as such, they just kinda suck.

Yeah I know its a unusaul feeling clutch, still better than the brass button in my old skyline lol.

Just seems inconsistent, mayb e a heads up for other owners to keep a eye on theirs,

I'll let you guys know if it gets any worse

I noticed a huge improvement when I had a CPe rear engine mount installed.
I had the annoying knock on acceleration which the dealer couldn't find.
So I asked the dealer to change the mount to the CPe I supplied. Done and all solved.
They claimed there was nothing wrong with the old mount, but obviously it was stuffed.
The added bonus was the better shifting and clutch feel after the replacement mount.

Hi guys,

This thread may or may not shed some light. Mine slipped out again after I posted in the below thread and I had it checked again, only for the Mazda mechanic to tell me everything seemed normal. I know it slipped again though because the position of my seat never changed but my knee was now touching the steering wheel when the clutch was fully extended out from the floor and before it wasn't.

I've now had mine for almost 2 years, the clutch has finally settled since the last slip and I'm used to it now. The rear engine mount is definitely on my list to do, from what I've heard it's definitly worth it
