I think my clutch is slipping or something like that. You see the clutch grabs fine but what I notice is that if i give tap on the gas pedal my rpms climb up very quickly and the engine speeds up but that car rpms is not parrallel with the speedometer, basically the car isnt moving as quick, but the engine is speeding up. Does that make sense? Is there the possibility that the clutch is slipping even though the clutch grabs well? I going to take it to my mazda dealer, they installed this OEM clutch for me 4 monthes ago, and I diffinintly think its slipping, from my description what do you think is going on?

 

Sounds like a clutch. If you do replace it get an ACT street/strip clutch. You will never go back!

 

definately sounds like a clutch problem... mazda dealers aren't exactly known for their proficiency with rotaries but a clutch job should be straight forward as any other car. was it always this way since you first got the car back from the dealer with the new clutch?

 

Did you let the clutch break in properly

 

NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER take an FD to a dealer.

thanks for letting my air my dislike for mazda dealer service on my 100th post....
