So what can it be??? I just got my turbo timer in the mail today and i should get my motor mount tomorrow so i dont wanna install this stuff tell my car runs....cansp6 said:Sure. Do you have a Dashhawk? Set it to display the #2 oxygen sensor, warm up the engine, rev to 6000rpm or so and downshift. You should see the reading jump as you take in the clutch and the rmps drop.
Fun, but very unlikely to be the cause of the surging

Is it at least easily reproducible? any CELs? Ever?
For me it is very reproducible...just apply even throttle at around 2500rpms in 3rd and 4th gears. No CELs. On the other forum a few peeps have been saying that they had their fuel pumps replaced and that solved the problem...and then for others it didnt. I have no clue...but when I finally get to the dealer for my Clutch TSB I'm going to confront them about it since they said changing the O2 sensors would fix it and it didnt. By the way...the clutch parts are on backorder...and there is only one Mazdaspeed dealer near me (notcool)

I've got similar issues on my MS3 - before and after CAI installation.
Intermittent, but annoying. After one or two of you MS6 guys has it addressed, perhaps I'll bother my service dept.
It sucks, but it also sucks that it only happens sometimes..
3rd & 4th gear, for me..

Well, after arguing with this guy about the car I drive EVERYDAY about what is wrong with it I finally got them to put it on a lift. Then I told them I wanted to watch when he got it on the lift and the mechanic said cool but this dumb ass said oh please wait in side.. so I said ok and stood right where I was then he walked off. So anyways take a wild guess what it PROBABLY is... All 3 of my motor mounts are ****** up! They look like someone purposly tore them apart and then installed them. So i guess i drive it to hard.. Lol. So they are gonna install all 3 on tuesday and my AWR that I just bought ill install if that fixes the problem. BUt it does make sense to be that.. cause i said it feels like its letting off the gas and pushing it again... motor rocking back and forth could do that... Well, climb under yours and check it guys. Or go to mazda... But just to make sure you know, i am not completely stupid (haha) it did feel like a fuel problem or vacuum leak or something. NOT a motor mount....
I REALLY REALLY doubt your motor mounts have held up if your car is running that much power! Mine has been only stock and with the Fujita CAI. So I am willing to bet that even if its not the problem I bet there beat up anyways. Look close, we almost didnt see the big split in the front left one. Do you know of any one who makes the upgraded front left and the right side mounts?MS6mike said:
