ok little story.. installed my torque brace yesterday.. loving it.. im not sure if this helped to problem.. anyways.. driving around.. 3rd gear started grinding.. and the clutch when i put it in made a grinding sound and a tinking sound.. when i managed to come to a stop sign.. the car would jump like its wanting to stall and being very hard to get into a gear.. i barely managed to get to my buds house around the corner and then the car wouldnt go into any gear.. so i popped to hood and checked around the tranny area to see if theres anything wrong visually.. nothing.. so turned the car off.. put it into hear.. that seems a little harder to do then normal.. start her up.. and it seems like when iuts turning over kinda feel like it jumping/stalling... so i can finnaly get it going and when i press the clutch in i get a grindy/squeeky noise.. so i staggered it home i managed to get it into 3rd with rev matching.. and then I had the clutch in and it died in my driveway.. this all really conserns me... i dont want anything huge to happen right now please give me some advise.. i have an appointment at mazda tomorrow for my motor mount so ill get them to look at it then i just need to know what im looking at... i hope someone here has some idea!! please help me!! thanks guys

I'm guessing clutch hydrolics? clutch master or slave cyinders. is your clutch fluid low? one was bad it would be like the clutch pedal is only part way down.

 

hmm ok any other ideas.. thanks a lot Scott! i just want to have the best idea of what it could be before i go in tomorrow

 

either that or a clutch / tranny / tranny bearing problem...

if it does weird stuff while the shifter is in "N". then it's probably not the hydrolics. that would be problems while shifting or trying to get it into gear.

 

no when its in neutral i beleive its fine.. it does feel like the clutch peael is half way down..... getting late...
oh geese 2.. hey Scott u have MSN??
