I took it upon myself to fix the rod bearings that were damaged so that I could trade the car in and buy another vehicle. Total cost for the repair was around $70 And 4 hours labor. Hopefully this might be an option for you if the engine still runs. Replies to this message: jbah (Mar 02, 2008 4:36 pm)

They wanted proof of my oil changes. Also, the clutch is making a strange noise again. This is after they replaced the clutch at 20k miles. I certainly wouldn't buy a mazda that is built in the US b/c the Japan versions didn't have these problems. I still feel like they should fix the clutch but I'm out of warranty and they already refused to honor anything else. They also had to fix the tranny mount and leaky axle seal after the engine swap. I don't know what to say really, other than MAZDA SUCKS. Thank G*($ though they honored repairs but why should you have to take in your brand new car five times a year for four years?!!?!?!
