problem #1

MAZDASPEED3 2.3L 4 cyl

  • Manual transmission

knocking noise when shifting gears or accelerating quick

Seems to be a pretty frequent issue with a lot of people who own this exact vehicle. There are multiple forums and all parties with the same issue. It is something the dealership cannot explain and refuses to acknowledge or fix the issue. There has yet to be anyone who has corrected the problem, it is the manufacturers issue and they need to correct the size of the spine and axle on the front passenger side.
