    Default Mazda 3 Driveability - Roughness in gear changes etc

    hey guys

    Coming from the XR5 to the MPS i noticed a big change in how smooth the car is, of course coming from europeon to japanese

    But i dont feel its right, my car seems really rough in gear changes as in you let the clutch out too quick and the car is bouncing like im an L plater

    another small thing i noticed when on WOT my boost gauge vibrates, so there seems to be some feedback

    some people have told me its the engine mount needs changing

    I would change the engine mount and then see if problems still exist...

    Happy Motoring

    Yeah, change to a decent aftermarket rear engine mount. You'll notice a change for the better straight away.

    Also how new is the car? When mine was brand new the grabby clutch made that much worse.

    As people have said, an engine mount upgrade or inserts basically fixes it.
