    1st, Ask yourself, Why wouldn't the warranty cover it?
    2nd... What the hell??!? Your joking right. Wow, I would most certainly be mighty upset. If you have any pics of the car with the original gearstick on show them those to prove it...

    Good luck mate, Hope all goes well

    this isnt the first time i tryed to get the gearstick knob replaced!
    but the gentelman at mazda was very understanding and did admit it was not right at all, i also noticed my repair kit is missing too, tho im unsure if i or someone else took it out, but the gear stick nob def was switched.
    fingers xed!!

    Dont know....i havent let Mazda service my car since they did the 70000km one.

    I either take it to a mechanic i know and trust and do the rest myself.

    I think they told me off hand...it was about $800 - $900

    my 40k service was apparently going to cost $2500
    Apart from the $550 service, apparently I needed not only new discs, but rotors, and 4 new potenzas. I told them to jam it, did the service, since replaced tyres myself and brakes still going strong, according to my mechanic discs should be good for another 10000, and rotors are fine
    As if you would use mazda to service your car, what a rort!

    On what grounds are they refusing your warranty?
