No the noise hasn't settled down after 1000km. I failed to mention that i did put a second hand gearbox in at the same time, which could be the issue. It does also have a grinding noise under load,...
no there was no balance mark that I noticed. apparently the noise should reduce considerably after breakin (500miles/800km) according to Spec
Put the fidanza flywheel and spec 2+ clutch in today, so far it's quite smooth/driveable, only thing I don't like is it has a bit of chatter noise at idle
didn't work for me :(
interesting! might go get a cleaner then.. mine is starting to lightly hunt at idle with AC off, this could fix that as well.
Glad to hear so far so good for you!

I just received my solid flywheel and spec 2+ clutch kit today.
Hopefully get a chance to fit over the christmas break at some stage.

Any luck with this? I have pretty much the same issue.
After a drive, doesn't have to be spirited, but anything longer then about 20 minutes sitting and it takes quite a bit to crank.
I have...
I had a very similar problem to this, mine ended up being a small egg in one of the tyres.
same with me, always takes 5.7l never any more, never any less. :)

Hi Guys,
Just curious as to see what sort of km's are out there with the MPS's and if you have had any major dramas?
My 2006 Gen 1 MPS has just clicked 250,000km
Only problems i have had...
If you have to scan the manual in, dont worry :) I know how painful that can be!
Physical unloaded flywheel rotation, gearbox is out. I am just working out if I should replace with a solid...
Does anybody know where I can get hold of a assembly diagram for the MPS 3 gearbox?
I currently have the gearbox out as I have to get a small crack in the casing fixed and need to remove the rear...
I got from Pedders;
Front
8468L 8468L C/GAS SEALED STRUT
8468R 8468R C/GAS SEALED STRUT
Rear
120204 120204 Comfort Gas Shock
They do now, I replaced my shocks with pedders shocks about 4 months ago.
I don't think it's an overfilling problem as the problem started a considerable time after the gearbox oil being changed.
I just topped up the gearbox and it only took another 100ml, so over a 500km drive pretty much all in 6th gear that's all it lost, a small amount of gearbox oil makes a lot of mess!
I am starting...
Hey guys,
Currently I have a gearbox oil leak that I cannot identify it's source. Currently it's got Mazda's standard oil and not the SYN 75 replacement.
Took it to Mazda they cleaned it, went...
I have a MPS3 Gen1 with 151k on the clock.
Just been looking at pricing for replacing the clutch, I bought my MPS at 60k and the clutch is pretty heavy/bitey, so i am thinking it may not be...
