first post, is regarding an issue.... sorry guys
So, my name is Derek, I just purchased a 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 in white from Forbes mazda in waterloo, I was loving the car so far other then a few things...
its bone stock for one so lets get that out of the way, it has 75k.
for the first few days of ownership everything been solid until the last few days, the transmission will not go into 2nd smoothly when its cold (first few mins of driving)
It does not matter what I do, shift slow as possible, pause for a second between shifts.. it grinds into 2nd, its driving me bonkers.
I have a 20+ year old miata with 200k that shifts smooth as butter even during cold runs.
Once the ms3 warms up however its smooth as butter....
should I take this back to the dealer? will they even acknowledge the problem? the car didn't do it for the first few days and suddenly as of today its grinding every single time, regardless of how perfect/slowly I shift it.
any suggestions?
