    Backed up by dealers/mechanics repeatedly telling people nothing is wrong, I feel inclined to start believing them now.

    a good quality 3rd party garage who deal with performance cars is normally your best bet for things like this, there has been times that users of this forum have had issues, taken it to mazda, who say nothing is wrong, then they show them a sheet stating it's a known problem and the dealers turn around and go "oh, yeah, that issue, we'll fix it for you now..."

    Got my gearbox oil changed to the Penrite SYN 75W-90. Also got my corksport inserts installed.

    Made a noticeable difference. Shifts have improved alot. Can't comment what it will be like when the oil is cold yet though.

    I would love an example of this mystical sheet. My dealer doesn't think there is anything wrong with my car, although I frequently find it impossible to downshift to first. 1st/2nd CONSTANTLY make noise when I shift. I have told them it could be the oil, or it could be the rear engine mount, but they tell me it doesnt actually make any noise at all.

    Thy funny thing is they have rebuilt my gearbox already due to "bearing noise"
