hi
iam looking at a 05 mps6.just wondering what the problem with the clutch you guys have been having. this car only has 20k kms on it.would have clutch problem have become and issuse yet? how many kms did it take b4 you sent it back to mazda to fix
cheers
Theres no problem with the clutch per say. I think the 2005 and maybe early 2006 models came out with a slightly different clutch to the later models which is very snatchy and takes some getting used to. To me I ddint find it very different to my Subaru clutch so it didnt bother me as much. You do get used to it and will stop stalling it, its not a problem Mazda just acknowledged this clutch wasnt the most user firiendsly and did a TSB for a replacment clutch in the earlier models if you go and complain about it
Taken my boring, bland, lame Subaru and my fat ass and driven off into the sunset with a smile on my face
Somewhere on the forum there is advice on adjusting the clutch pedal height and clearance adjustment. It worked so well on my 05 model I hesitated in getting the clutch replaced. As the dealer had ordered the new clutch anyway, I decided to to get the new clutch. In the end there wasn't a great differnce between the adjusted pedal height and the new clutch in operation.
Hi guys, I previously posted about my TSB clutch. Happy to report Mazda City (Melbourne) upgraded me with the new clutch, although they were a bit dodgy about refunding me the original $3k I spent on the clutch, but I've got it up my sleeve for future "problems" they might wish to cause for other things.
ANYWAY, now my baby is out of warranty and I recently took it to them for rough idling (almost wants to stall when idling but never actually does). The car still runs perfect, feels like all the power is still there, but I suspected it was caused by contaminated fuel as I noticed the problem after filling up at a BP. Mazda confirmed fuel was contaminated, cleaned fuel lines, drained tank and filled it up again, but the car still idles rough. Mazda has told me that this will go away after 3-4 tanks.
Does this sound right to anybody?! What's the point of cleaning fuel lines if the car is still going to run funny after 3-4 tanks? Could it be something else that they haven't picked up? Any ideas?
Thanks!

rear diff mount went but had fixed threw warranty
I had to have front and rear engine mounts replaced 2 1/2 years in (under warranty), but by that time it had totally screwed up my tires so I also had to get 4 new ones of those as well (I had to pay for those), rear window tint bubbled like all heck so also had to get that replaced, not a Mazda fault I know but still annoying...

OEM job, unless you want to turn your car into a vibrator. If you're out of warranty expect to pay around $270. Installation is not difficult.
thanks mate.. the mazda i go to quoted $223 for the part.. il ring some local mechanics and try and suss out the labour charge..
BTW i fixed my buckled rims thinking this will sort out the slight vibration i have while driving.. its still there is it possible that its coming from this split mount ?
