LOL why so it can break on me in 3 months? I mean i'd hate to the the same thing the person i bought it from did to me but i may just have to patch it up run it for a few and make it someone elses problem and dump it on ebay.

Once again, the tranny problem. If you know how to shift it won't break on you again.

It probably broke the first time on you because of the previous owner.

If you get it fixed and shift like a human being and not try to force it, it'll last a good long time. If you think it'll still break, the clutch release fork is what you can replace from the MSP. The rest of the shift forks are the same.

All tranny's in the third gen are the same, except for the differences in the MSP tranny.

Yeah, its a misconception that the tranny sucks in our cars. People break forks by slamming the shifter into gear, and/or using them as handrests. My suggestion is to just get a used low mileage one, and don't beat on it. People with 230whp turbos have had their stock tranny for over a year (spoolinmp3 for one example).

I say ebay won't do s*** for you. There are probably thousands of claims just like yours that they receive on daily bases, it's impossible for them to do anything.

Did you ask your mazda dealer how much it's going to cost to get it fixed???

i feel for you man, my tranny went on me a month ago, same problem, 3rd gear was grinding, got stuck in 4th gear. Then one day i noticed fluid leaking from under my car, turns out it was tranny fluid, i am thinking oh great now what. I take it to the dealer, and they fed me corporate bulls*** about how i over torqued it with my parts, and i told them bulls***, then they tried to tell me how i drive, and said that is the reason. They said you probably took it past redline, which i have never done, anyway, they said you probably took it close to redline one time and that is what caused it. Turns out i sheered something in the differential, and i also broke the first gear lock somehow. The MP3 tranny is achillies heel of the car. Good luck with mazda they are a bunch of F***ing a$$holes with their thumbs up their a$$es. Since that experience i have decided to get rid of my car, and move on to another, which car, i have not decided yet.
