So you did finally buy the car. Guess I can close your other thread. I haven't heard of many problems around here with the new 6 speed yet.

Sadly you never mentioned a manual would have been okay...

Oh well...

Iv had that gear shift sticking problem but never a funny sound. Im at 1,800 miles and its only happend to me about half a dozen.

the SkyActiv-MT had various production changes since September 2011...
5th gear was revised first, then it was 3rd gear... 2nd gear was revised twice earlier this year, and 4th gear was revised a couple of times this year, the latest was in August
the 3-4, and 5-6 synchro assemblies were also redesigned during the same time period
the case has been redesigned several times also, the breather has been redesigned, and the 5-6 shift fork has been redesigned since August 2011
No changes have been made in the shifter related parts

there is less of a chance you will encounter any problems now that this transmission is in its 2nd year production

ive have a 'squishy' feeling sometimes when going into 1st and 3rd. Sometimes it will feel hesitant and ill have to push a little harder to get it into its gate. it doesn't bother me much because it doesn't happen very often, but when it does it can be a bitch. Still an amazing car and am very pleased with the car as im sure you will be too.

So you actually got the skyactiv? and in your price range? congrats.

i dont know i had a good deal.

finally i got mazda 3 skyactive 6sp manual (demo car/ 4500km on it) at lower price...

Wow..so many changes already. This is exactly why you always wait for the 2nd or 3rd year of a new generation (with new engine/drive train etc). The same would apple for Skyactive-D when it hits NA soil as well.

the thing is, by the time the diesel arrives, it'll be more than a year into production... we should have most of the bugs worked out, except for maybe the emissions monitoring BS
