Unless you have a million dollars worth of engine mods on the car...take it to the dealer now. 22,000 miles on a clutch -- unacceptable.

I had clutch problems on my MP3 almost right away and complained at every service and/or warranty visit. The service manager adjusted and tested and never fixed it (even with a tech service bulletin -TSB- on the morning chatter issue). It is now out of warranty and I hope I can baby the clutch until next month.

Our transaxles (what transmissions on front-wheel drive cars are called) have weak forks. The MSP, and 2003 and up Protege's have upgraded shift forks. I just replaced my transaxle last year due to a broken gear.

******* s***. I've begun to notice some problems with starting from a dead stop. Its chatter, according to my mechanic soon-to-be-father-in-law. It really got magnified today on the way to the Chicago auto show with 4 people in the car. Basically, starting from a dead stop causes some horrible shaking/vibrating. Basically, I have the flywheel problem, and it hasn't surfaced until now. My clutch does not slip whatsoever, because I typically baby my car. What are my chances of getting a TSB replacement without a warranty with 52,000 miles on the car? At least a discounted price on labor, for ***** sake?! I know Mazda will say no way, but I'm hoping to hear stories of other peoples' luck. Ugh. I guess this will force me to upgrade my clutch in case I ever go FI.

yea mine has the clutch chatter i remember someone posted like a faq on the mp3's it had like all hte problems that the mech. at mazdas follow if any problems thats how they know where and how to fix it. i remember readin the clutch chatter, they said for the mech, to test the car and make sure the chatter was noticeable and replace it with a another clutch. i think its they only way for the chatter to go away, but i dont have that much to replace the clutch, most likey just for hte part, but mine doesnt do it unless u release the clutch futher than the gas if u gas it a bit more then it wont make the noise when u start, but i have a clickin sound now.... idk if thats part of the chatter, but its just as annoying everytime i push in the clutch... anyone else with this problem?
