    Hey EQ, had my transfer case seal done about 3 months ago and thought I could still smell gear oil, so Mazda had a look today and it looks like they didn't fit the gasket to the drain plug correctly and there was a small leak from that, which is now fixed. Hope your's goes well, good luck.
    Cheers

    OK, so I goy my car back a week ago, new diff, trans case, allignment and balance. It felt (yep, felt, past tense) excellent. for about 300kms.

    I am now driving a big red vibrator. At rest, when accelerating, when decelerating, all the bloody time, worse with the aircon on...even at 80ks (havnt found any longer roads yet).

    Can anyone lend any ideas?

    Mazda are going to put in a new side mount...i feel its something worse..but I have no idea...
