My Tranny!!

[clos561]

when i turn sharply in first gear it makes a wierd noise like its rubbing...i know its not rubbing because i make the same turns when i am rolling and it doesnt make the noise...my tranmission was currently worked on by mazda and i dont know why the tranny is making wierd noise like that....i will take it in next week and i will have it checked out but i figured it see if u guys knew what was going on with this s***

just a shot in the dark but mabye your lsd? i dont know.

You know, the day after I got my MS3 I heard a similar noise under similar circumstances. At about 1200 rpm and while turning sharply into a parking spot or making a u-turn theres a low pitch hum. I took it in, but of course it didn't make the noise with the service tech.

Let me/us know what happens.

i hear the same thing. don't know exacty when i hear it but i've heard it about 5 times. it kind of sounds like a humming noise. maybe like a blue whale or something. it's definitely a noticable noise.

do you feel any vibration in your steering wheel at all??

Not me, I actually feel a slight vibration under my clutch pedal.

 

[controlo]

yeah, nothing in the steering wheel. maybe in the clutch. i made a couple u-turns today and it did it.

Both my friend and I hear the same thing on our MS3's when they were new and the brakes werent broken in yet. Its the pads hitting the rotors when you turn sharp but as soon as they thin out a hair it will stop.

 

[clos561]

mine is probably louder than urs but this week i will get it checked out and drive the tech guy my self and make sure he hears this s***...its definitely the tranny or something in that nature because i do turns in nuetral and it doesnt make the noise...ill keep u posted

 

[whitey4311]

Yeah ours was the brakes. It sounded like when you run your finger around the rim of a wine glass but its gone now.

Now we just have that stupid low speed squeek in the brakes from time to time.

Good luck

 

[clos561]

definitely not a squeak soudns like my tire rubbing the splash guard but its not...really wierd but mazda will fix it (attn)

 

[xmysacredoathx]

I neglected to add that mine does it in stop-n-go traffic sometimes too. Again at around 1200-2000 rpm start/stops.

I am sorry to hear you are still having issues. When in doubt go back to the dealer. Keep everything documented. I promise it comes in handy. Even if you go and they document nothing wrong at this time....still is a good thing to do so.

I have had ours for over a month now and ours still makes this noise. And it is frustrating me. Almost like a high pitch rubbing noise when I am taking off slowly at a light.

My dealer and my sales guy told me, "keep track of it, notice the patterns and if it gets worse bring it in and we'll take care of you."


I took my sales guy, the service tech manager and a service mechanic all for a ride that day and as always, no noise. It has gone away somewhat significantly and I may have to agree with the person above stating it is the new brakes.

Yup agreed. My dealer did that too. But you "can" get a repair order in writing stating what you came in for and what they found or did not find.

I had the same problem you all are having. It was very low volume, whine type sound, only when I turned very sharply. The car had less than 300 miles on it, so I kinda blew it off, as too new to be broke. Which I probably should not have done.

I have more than 3000 miles on it now, I'll go see if it does it today.

 

[whitey4311]

i have just over 3k now and its gone but as I said now the pads squeek every now and then at very low speeds in parking lots.
