Wicked noise associated with vibration normaly in fist gear situations... normaly when shifting or if idleing cluch release, not nesc shifting. only happens for a short time untill everything is "hot" so to speak.

there is a slight vibrations associated with this "vibration noise"


in automatic cars sounds like tourqe convertor going bad....

anyonehave similar issue?

hehe, u know what i mean

if the noise is pretty loud when u start the car, and it is only at arround 2k rpm, AND it seems like there is something loose, then it might be the VTCS

no they just said flashed pcm for rough idle issue... which isnt what i described to them... so i bitched for a while.. they explained all the s*** they did.. i was like ok.. so if i come back for same prob then thats 2x on a lemon law they were like yup.. so they feel confident its fixed. however they did give me a get a free service coupon out the deal. props to free s***


But the actual mazda guy wasnt there so i talked to the service mgr.
my maz dealer has VW and doge too so.. he wsnt the "guy"

but i havent heard the same noise.. similar but not the same ratchety noise also temps have been up here not quite as cold
