So, I took my 8 to Mazda to get an issue looked at, 4th gear was grinding when I shifted into it. After dropping off my car at 8AM I got a call at 5:15PM that they have permission to open up the transmission and fix it under warranty, at least that is my understanding. I don't know how long it will be in the shop, but I miss it already.

They said they don't know exactly what is causing the problem so they have to take it apart to find it.
At least I should get my rental car today. Bumming rides really sucks.

Mazda 3 sounds good is that the best they offer as a rental? no mazda6's? I guess not, since the best rental they had for me was a G5...>.<
I don't know...I may have to get ANOTHER rental too, since the *******'s don't know how to ******* take broken glass out of my door when putting the new window in....AND! I'mma bust a cap in someone's *** if they give me more **** for that dent in my door....*******...it's NOT a sideswipe!
sorry...rant over...
I'm calm...

well, lets see! shall we?
38K- grinding when shifting from 2nd to 3rd, from 3rd to 4th and from 4th to 5th. transmission was partially rebuilt.
48K- grinding from 3rd to 4th and sometimes from 4th to 5th. transmission was partially rebuilt.
58K- the story repeats all over again =( transmission was replaced for a brand new one.
btw, all the grinding only happened when shifting at high rpms
oh, did i mention that synchros are crap?! that was the problem everytime

But yeah, they covered everything from rentals to parts to labor. the 3rd time i had to fuzz and bit¢h to them as much I could so could get the darn regional rep to come down and give the ok for a new tranny. now, from the first time I complained until the car rolled out of the shop with a new transmission, it took about 2 long freakin' months.
