170-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD
52700 mi | Replaced 1'st and 2'nd gear, syncros and fork due to difficulty getting transmission into first from neutral. Repaired under Warranty |
40800 mi | I took the car into Kanata Mazda with a noise which I told them I thought was a bearing from the accessory drives. They told me it was a clutch throw out bearing. Of course not covered on warranty. I knew that would escalate to $2,000 |
29000 mi | Shifter feels clunky and has an occasional gring between 1st and 2nd gear |
30500 mi | I adjusted the clutch rod by lengthening it 1 1/2 turns which allowed fuller clutch disengagemnet. All clearances remain within factory specs. |
55300 mi US $816 |
Repaired/replaced first and second gear components and replaced clutch and flywheel |
