Ok so i am in panama city leaving wal mart with a group of friends and i begin to accelerate.....next thing i know there is a loud crack noise followed by the rpms shooting up and redlining. I was like wtf is a matter with this and i realize that at the next red light the car barely grips in first or second... I am thinking it is just a clutch so i am like ok, maybe about 500 bucks to get that replaced by a local with an aftermarket clutch. I tow it to mazda to see if it was my LSD because it sounded very similar to the recent cases posted by other members. Mazda said they would not break the tranny down until i paid 650 bucks to tear it down, then 390 for parts, and another 650 to rebuild it......how ****** up is that! I have the 100000 mile extended warranty too! Buzz Leonard Mazda ******* SUCKS! They could have at least taken into consideration that i do not even live there, they told me it would take a week to fix also. So anyway i just order the parts and take it to a local shop and it ends up not even being the clutch, i had about 10000 miles left on it before replacement, the locals tore down the tranny and found that it was in fact the LSD. Because they are certified i think mazda warranties the work minus the clutch labor, which was 450. so in total i spent about 800 bucks, that does not include the 200 extra bucks i had to spend while i was down there, as well as the 100 to go down there this next week to pick it up.
So lets see....i have another ******* factory clutch......800 dollars more poor, and i dont have a car until this next weekend when i can go and pick it up....damn.....
