Like when you let up too much clutch, and the car shudders but doesn't buck, I'm getting that more than before. Just starting from a stop; when I'm already moving it doesn't do it. I just give it more gas and ease out on the clutch more to make is smooth, but it worries me that it didn't do this before (during normal/correct operation). What do I need to check out? Tranny, driveshaft?





If you don't know what I mean, here's another example. It also feels like when on a wet road, and the tires break loose from a stop if you stomp the gas, creating that rumble/shudder of the tires bouncing/trying to grip (I guess?).

If it's driveshaft you shouldnt be able to accellerate out of it. It should continue through the gears.

okey dokey.



oh, and the front diff mount is relatively new, a mazdatrix competition unit. Also I've replaced all bushings that came in the energy suspension kit.

my gslse does that but check the fsm bc theres somethign in there about it i think, the probs go from simple braces and stuff all the way up to engine bearings i think.

Sounds to me like you've got broken motor mounts.

Hot spots on the flywheel, pp and clutch disc.

broken motor mount, tranny mount perhaps.

That makes sense, I would always hear a slight clunk when getting on the throttle after shifts.

what makes sense, the motor mounts? im asking bc i have the same symptoms

Motor mounts will last forever if you drive like a Grandma. You all DO drive like Grandma, DON'T YOU?
