I'm a fairly new MS6 owner, about a month now. I did this last weekend, tweaked it again during the week. Everything that has been said before by previous posters. Thanks much for this tip, makes the shifting much more enjoyable.
When I got my '03 V6 MT in November '02 (a VERY early Mazda6), after two months of trying to get used to the clutch takeup, I finally bled the clutch slave cylinder, and that fixed that. But my new (to me) '06 MS6 didn't feel like it needed to be bled, but I was prepared to do that. No need now that I came across this thread. Again, thanks much for this posting and tip.
Now, if I can only get my local dealer to re-do the alignment so it doesn't drift right, I'll be beyond happy with the car, downright ecstatic (I've seen the posts about the control arm TSB and will push the dealer on it).
Great forums, thanks, guys.
