Background: 2012 Mazda5 Sport with 6-speed manual, dealer serviced only, currently about 26k miles on the odometer.
Issue: when the clutch is depressed and released during a normal shift, there is a brief low noise as the clutch is released. It's almost like a "honk" or groan. Primarily in the 1/2/3 gears, but it might be in higher gears too and masked by road noise. Also more evident in first 5-10 miles of driving.
Anyone else have this issue? Functionality of the clutch/transmission is not affected, but I'd like to catch problems before it gets worse or induces a failure.
Thanks in advance - JMJ
