I hope this is not a double post i searched and could not find this problem anywhere.
My cars problem seems to be with the transmission or clutch. It is a Mazda 3 manual transmission with about 50,000 miles in 3 years. Every time that I shift gears I can hear what sound like something hitting the wheel well of the passenger side front tire area. When the car is in second gear and a let off the gas and then push on the gas at low rpm I can hear what sounds like metal hitting each other like a ding sound only once every time i do this (this noise also coming from the front passenger wheel well). Some times while letting off the gas when I come up to a stop sign it sounds like dirt is flinging up on the bottom of the car from the same area but there is nothing under there that i know of.
The car shift into all the gears just fine and once it is in gears there is no problems. The only other thing it does is sometimes when I shift from first to second the car makes a whistle noise that sounds like it is coming from the engine. Then it stops and runs fine again.
I am stumped by this and don't want to run to Mazda and waste my time just yet because the car runs fine they will just lube everything and I will be out 2-3 hours from work.
Anyone else had a problem like this? Thanks guys take it easy.
