Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm trying to reach out here. I need a new transmission for my 2006 Mazdaspeed6 (2006-2007 trans are the same so car year doesn't matter).
Basically the story is my transmission mount was busted, but I didn't know, the car drove fine (maybe because I wasn't beating on it hard) but until it DID start acting up and doing a clunk that's when the shop told me it was bad.
Bought the AWR transmount from PG, got it in like 4-5 days, installed it, then I was feeling what I thought was a grinding, and the car was making a whine from 1500 to 3000 rpm.
People were telling me it's just the vibration from the mount, and the whine is gear whine...... yeah right.
My clutch was getting replaced and when I had the mechanic check the trans for the noise and "grinding" that I felt, he said my output shaft is screwed up.
So now I basically need a new transmission. Mazda wants $2,700 for a new one and $1,900 for a used one with 32,500 miles on it (If it was under 20k I might consider it).
Can anyone help me out? Do you know any wreckage/salvage yards where there's a Mazdaspeed6 (maybe rearended bad with intact front end?) I really need to get one. I definitely can't afford the $2,700 brand new on top of the labor it would cost to install.
If the car was paid off I'd scrap it for parts and sell the aftermarket stuff, but I still owe like 10k on it, plus I like the car so I'd rather keep it (apparently I've got a crappy 1st batch model of MS6, I've had clutch and turbo issues as with the usual TSBs others had).
I'll be checking this thread for email notification to my phone. Thanks for any help
