I asked about this 6 months ago but i wanted to see if anyone is having the problems now there cars are older. When i shift to every gear but 3rd it is perfect! But when i am speed shifting thru the gears and shift from 2nd to 3rd it does this stutter thing. It feels like im not getting enough fuel or something. It happens for a second then goes back to its job. It will feel like i let off the gas completely then stomp it again. But obviously im not doing that. Anyone have any ideas?? Right now with the motor mount, Fujita CAI, and the test pipe it does it. When i put the car back to stock for a month, still does it. It will do it every time. I have tried using 93 octane AND octane booster thinkin it was the gas does nothing. I cleaned the MAF sensor and it did nothing. I took it to the dealer and they have no clue. So im hurtin. Please give me ideas. Thanks everyone!

I get the stutter as well.
And i think it's the tranny and not the fuel. This motor jumps. I have seen vid's of this car on dyno..i think once a suitable device for the rear end..and havening motor mounts done..this car will not have that stutter.

Maybe but i do have the rear mount and it didnt change anything as far as 3rd gear. BUT... it does jerk the hell out of my car like it could be some kind of mount. Originally i went to mazda and they thought it was the mounts, so we jacked it up and looked at the motor mounts. They were all trashed! So they replaced all 3 (i believe 3) of them. No change. So i dont know...
Just today moving on a on ramp in 5th hitting 65 mph. then all of a sudden shutter like starving for gas. went for about a second then nothing. back to normal. Could not recreat and no engine light coming on. Anyone else have this happen in 5th.???
ALSO at the same time I heard "KNOCKING" like pulling a heavy load on a truck!

Thats what mine is like but it is always in 3rd gear.
Ya, i could try that. Im just trying to get it fixed because its bad when i run at the track and stuff. Any ideas?
I tried this and it does not help....
have you had your recall work done? the reflash and some shutter valve replacement helps this big time....My car used to do it the worst between 2-3 shifting. it was a big delay and then nothing really. But now it is all good and does really good...
Also noticed that the car is really sensitive to gas!! If I get gas from a no name station it is not happy. When I get 76 or Shell or Chevron it is really happy! The knock sensor works overtime when I get the s*** gas...

Yep... I have had it all done. Thats why it sucks so bad. And about the gas, mine is the same. I thought that was maybe the problem so i tried different gas stations and even tried the octane boosters and it still does it every time..
my car was having the same problem and it finally threw a code and the dealer told me it was mis firing. so they replaced the spark plugs for free of course warranty and now it's better but occasionialy she still does it i'm gonna try a mod from another thread and see where that takes me.
I might know the mod ur talkin about. The one with the spring u stretch out? If so i JUST did it. Thats why im on here now because i wanted to look for ANOTHER idea. Lol. It didnt work for me. Rican did it and it solved his problems so its gotta work for some people. But it didnt work for me.

yea i have the third gear only stutter also. i havent really tried anything to fix it tho. i think the spring strectch might be more for people who had it in every gear.

You might check you plug gap. I've got mine at 0.032 but others have lowered theirs to 0.030 or 0.028 and have had improvements.
Ya, it didnt do much for me so that could be.
