clunky suspension 2010 mps

[tgold]

i don't think my clunk is the suspension now, when I open the rear hatch there is a clunk about half way up in opening it. Sounds like something is loose inside the tailgate. This seems to be confirmed by the clunk occuring when I change direction on occassions rather then going over a bump.

I've only done 300kms and also have a clunk on changing gears, most noticebly in second and third. Doesn't do it every time though.

My 2nd and 3rd aren't clunky but I sometimes find it hard to get in to first when I'm rolling to a stop, obviously with the clutch in, feels like bad synchro and I'm not sure if it's normal..anyone?

My Mazda 3 MPS has just done 5000klm no noise from the suspension.
Under no circumstances accept an answer that is normal from the dealer.
I had a Mazda a arm fitted as part of the purchase. It changed the functionality of the lock request button in the taillight - changed from lock only to lock and unlock but it did not activate or de activate the alarm. At the 1000klm check up I rasied the problem and was told that's normal. I took it up with Mazda direct (refused to be referref back to the dealer) only to find out that Mazda does not make an alarm for a 2010 MPS so the dealer had fitted one from another model. Thus the functionality problem. The alarm has since been removed at the fealers cost, my money refunded and I have had a Cobra alarm fitted at far less cost that works perfect.

i noticed and brought it up with the dealer on 1000km service ..when slowing to a stop putting back into first sometimes crunches ...like the car has to be at a full stop to put into first

Sorry don't you have to come to a complete stop to put back into first, in any car?

I would not even think to put it back into first without the car stopped.

Cluck in the gear box comes when you are changing quickly. Changing normally no cluck.

Yea i also do notice that "clunky" sound when i go over big speed bumps... I'd imagine its normal if everyones getting it...? lol and yea i do notice that too, its like the synchro has a lock at a certain speed for downshifting to 1st gear. i realized u gotta get it down to at least >20km/h to shift into 1st from rolling, otherwise from a full stop... Makes it pain in the arse when u pull up at the lights and then suddenly it turns green and u gotta chuck it into 1st but can't then chuck it in to 2nd but gotta rev it up to launch it... lol quite annoying sometimes.

my car has 3000kms now and have not noticed that crunch into first for a while .. but the suspension still annoys me
