My Tranny!!

[lokalmotive]

I had the same problem right at first with my MS3 but after about 1200 miles it doesn't do it anymore. It had me concerned at first so I let the service dept look at it while I was at work (perks of being a Mazda sales person, haha) and they said it was just the brakes rubbing being so new.

I hate that "answer". I truly find that hard to believe. I mean I have owned about 10 NEW cars and NEVER had that happened before. Mine still do it and I am at 1500 miles

It is the brakes.

When the pads are thick and new they are very close to the rotors and as you turn sharp it very slightly moves the rotor closer to the pad and you get a slight amount of drag and that noise that goes with it.

When they wear a bit it goes away.

You mean my "answer" or the service dept? My "answer" is nothing but the truth. This is my first "new" car but it isn't making the noise anymore. I don't know exactly what it was but honestly after the brakes wore down some it's not existent. It's possible that I have done some harder braking than you too. Not everyone drives the same so that's something that needs to be kept in mind. I believe mine was the brakes. Some of you might be experiencing something different but in my case that was my problem.

Sorry I mean that the service departments tend to say "nothing is wrong". You know? I am glad things seem to be ok for you. Mine still makes the noise. But never when we are turning. Only when starting from a light or a stop.

Yup. Mine is the same way. Only happens when I am alone. If I take it to my work nothing ever happens. GRRRR

 

[clos561]

they will proly tell me its normal but i want them to know that i hear it and that its there so if anything happens in the future... i cant say "i told you guys about it"

sounds like its just the lsd in the tranny. I hear mine on occasion but never when i try to make the noise happen. Its always just a real slow accelaration when in first, im sure its just the lsd working

i hear it after the the car warms up...i dont want to hear this anymore because its pretty loud and i feel like im driving a piece of s*** with all that noise

 

[knowledge007]

i have never heard anything but the little strain i get when turing the wheel all the way to the right. I get a little something like the power steering is straining of some kind. It happens sometimes only. But nothing negative towards performance.

 

[gsrtype1]

dude that sucks

 

[clos561]

its not negative to performance but its loud and it doesnt sound too healthy

 

[Kosh]

My ms3 does it too. It sounds like something rubbing through the breaks. It is a sort of wah wah wah sound. Still doing it after 4500 miles

It always happens in a slow roll forward and reverse if I have the clutch engaged or not and if I have it in gear or neutral.

So, how did they figure this out? Did they inspect it after you describing the noise, I ask because mine is making the same noise remember? I may want to just take it in and tell them to look at that. What part are they ordering?
