G'Bye MP3 for a while - Tranny

Re: LETS START A TRANNY RECALL PETITION!

That's interesting. Well, I am no expert, BUT... If you car is stock and your dealer can't prove that you "abused" the car, whatever that means, then I don't think your dealer can refuse to warranty... Hell, even if you autoxed all day, it would still be difficult for mazda to prove abuse. Call up Mazda HQ and raise hell.

Sometimes I have to pull from reverse to neutral and forcefully back to reverse for the gear to go in properly
(when it's not in all I hear is an unhealtyh scratchy sound :( )

That's exactly what mine does.... a good trick is put in first move the car a bit and then go into reverse.. but make sure oyu are stopped... not rolling or moving at all...

Dealership said this is normal... for what a POS tranny maybe...

Ok well like verythign else nothing is perfect. I noticed that the more I bitched the less i got somewhere with the dealerships. I am up to dealer #3 right now and I am pushing my luck right now... as the 4th one is pretty far away... I get good service the first couple times and then boom.. all to waist...

I have complained hours on end to Mazda Canada, the dealerships the owners of the dealerships, even the product manager for Canada... I lost his damn e-mail some how... but whatever... nothing happened... I even put up links to this board regarding the clunking noise... the tranny everything.. nothing happens until the people in Japan notice a problem and that's it....

I waited 4 months for my car... I got it and at 9 000 kms my shifter fork broke at least they told me the truth on that one but they blamed me for it... waited 4 weeks for my car to get fixed... 4 days to get a loaner... cost mazda over $2000 to fix this... now you think something like that would make them realize of the problem... NOPE....

We are a small crowed in the Mazda community... I mean 1750 cars or something.... Mazda dont' care about that... we are like 10% of sales or something.... not even... I have learned to live with it.. I have warranty for another 4 years... I will worry about it when I got no warranty left....

With Mazda claiming sh!t like "abuse" it is like we have no warrenty from the beggining. They can just claim "abuse" and get away with just about anything. Thats what freaks me out about my situation...If they claim "abuse" then why in the hell are they fixing my transmission? Don't try and tell me that they are wanting to give me a break, we all know that aint true.
It just befuddles(sp?) me.

I was just like to say I also just blew my transmission this week. I threw it into third and BOOM. Now I have to wait three weeks for the new one to get shipped from japan but its cool. I am gonna put the new flywheel, clutch and short shifter on it. I heard that by upgrading your tanny oil will help out the tranny. I think it was redline tranny oil but not sure. I hope mazda gets there head out of there ass and fixes this problem. I only have 17,000 miles on my car.
 
mazda knows there are major problems with the transmission... they are probably going to keep it very hush hush. if the press or the other general public found out about this it could possibly ruin mazda's streak..
