And for all we know, even if your car is the one that was bouncing around, doesn't mean there is something wrong with it. The low price could be a giveaway of a lemon or maybe they just wanted to sell it...

My 1-2 sucks too. There is a really long thread about it. I took it in and they told me to go synthetic. I did, and it still doesn't feel right. It does it much worse when it's cold. Now that it's summer it pretty much only happens on the first shift. I decided I just didn't care that much.

Well good news is that I'm gonna get new synchros and a starter kit, hopefully that'll take care of my problem. They keep going on and on about my clutch, even though they haven't determined that is even a problem, they just want me to pay $700 for a OEM clutch. Which brings up a new dilemma, if I should just buy a ACT clutch now and have them install it while they are doing the synchros since they can't charge more labor since they already have it all opened up.

I took it to a different dealership. I bought it from Ford dealership, but they didn't have a Mazda section, so I took it to a Mazda dealership to do the warranty work.
