Hey peeps. I'm new to the fourm . I like it, you all seem pretty nice...but enough about you guys....
I have a strange rattling noise that comes from under the car. The noise goes away when I push the cluch in. The hotter the car gets the louder the rattling becomes. The car is new, I drove it off the lot with 9km. There's now a little over 400km on it. The rattling has been there sence day one and hasn't seemed to get any worse. Any ideas or like problems out there?

That's just the gearbox spinning. I had mine checked as well. The car has lots of cool mechanical noises ... don't worry unless you hear it when you're driving as well.

I hear switching to Royal Purple or other synthetic high-quality gearbox and diff oils cuts down the amount of drive train noise considerably

i found the noise is very faint now with all royal purple fluids.

Thanks for the info. Royal Purple eh? Is this a product that my Mazda service guys will have?

Dethwalkin

How so?

some dealer might carry it, but I doubt you will find it at most dealers and even so, they will more than likely charge you more for it.

Go online, I think summit racing carrys it.
