Faulty Clutch Bearing?
Howdy all ... I think this is the first thread I've started in this forum for ... ever!
Anyway, I got a problem with my clutch, when I depress the pedal when I'm taking it out of gear and the car's movign slowly it makes a flapping noise sometimes. I have a feeling something's broken in the assembly too because I can feel it slipping sometimes ... Mazda say there's nothing wrong with it though, but I think they're bluffing now, 'cos it's not getting worse, it's just there!
If anyone else had/has this problem ... I'm booking my car in for a service in the next fortnight so I want to have a full magazine before I go in.

Yeah, but it's not normal on my cars. I lasted my clutch assembly 225000kms on my MX6. If it's rattling and it's the thrust bearing, they're paying for the clutch! It's been like it since the 30k service and it's now giving me the *****!

I think you have mentioned you take your car to Kirwans...I wouldnt raise it there as they HATE that issue. I have a laugh with them whenever I pop in. There is a TSB in the US stating that its normal noise.
EDIT: Just went to look for it and cant find it...must have imagined it

The problem we're experiencing, which may not even be a problem, is a flapping noise coming from the front end of the gearbox.
