Isn't your car new? Why are u changing it?

[Booter22]

its not slipping already is it?

[stevenma188]

Hi, I want to pay $100, but all the shops I went to want $600. Please tell me what to do. Thanks!

[peterm15]

You don't need one. You just haven't gotten used to the clutch yet.

If you do need one, I would talk to the dealer first. Clutch shouldn't blow in a month. Could be defect.

unless, hes been riding the clutch like a mofo for a month which is possible considering his last posts/threads.

lol. i love this. yes we have people busting our doors down with clutch defects. :bang driver defect maybe but its all wear and tear. in 3 years ive seen 1 clutch that was replaced under warranty as the trans had an internal failure, and even that was on the fence as customer wear and tear.

get someone who knows what they are doing and how the car should and does drive like a member or someone at the dealer you may have purchased it from to see what they think. Heck come see me in oakville and i will take it for a drive.

I do not know you well enough to know if this is sarcasm or not but all joking aside I have done a clutch in a 3 before and
1 you need a hoist,
2 getting the pilot bearing out without the proper tool.....ANGER MANAGEMENT 101 lol
3 Make DAMN SURE you reference where the bolts go around the trans housing to the motor

[stevenma188]

My post was sarcasm....

On the other hand, I thought you managed to do yours at home?

i thought it might have been but it had some realism to it lol.
I was fortunate enough to do mine at work on a hoist

Slide hammer with a pilot bearing removal tool no dice to get er out?

I didn't have the proper tool as i do not work for mazda. I tried using the tools for the manufacturer I work for but they were either to big or to small. I ended up using the torch, picks and screw drivers. It was a critical procedure but I got it out with the help of a coworker

Lol. Couldn't tell if you agreed or disagreed. Lol.

I'm going off the fact that this person held a manual transmission license in Korea. So they know how to drive stick ( supposedly).

This isn't the first time this member has brought up the tranny/clutch issue on a brand new car. So my thought is they haven't gotten used to it ( most likely) or something is actually wrong. ( less likely)

If something is wrong, this person has been complaining since 700km. Which I don't care how new you are at driving stick. I don't think you can blow it that quickly. I taught myself on my car when it already had 72000km on it. It now has close to 180k on it and I don't need a clutch. I was a total newb with no in car teacher.

we had a brand new car towed back to the dealer after 200km because it wouldnt move. Diagnosis clutch blown to smitherines. The guy was trying to accelerate from 6th gear

Lol.

I said I didn't THINK it could blow. Didn't say it wasn't possible. Lmao.

Of course it CAN happen. But I am sure if there is that big of a problem. The dealer ( or other mechanic) could tell if it's user error or defect.

keep in mind in also assuming the OP knows how to drive standard. They say they held a standard tranny license in Korea. ( admittly I don't know the process to get the licence. )

Adda boy. Nothin like usin the good ol gas axe. So i have a better idea, was this removing the bearing while the flywheel was still bolted to the car?

i dont agree or disagree. im not sure how much abuse it would take to blow a clutch. i have been lucky not do destroy one yet. just had to replace one on my last car due to the prior driver and i got that car at 44,000k. but clutch is driver wear. unless there is a legit defect in the clutch it self. but understand showing up to a dealer and telling them there is a defect.. with the ammount of non defected clutch concerns out there vs defected drivers using them you will get a :S :bang most often it is the driver not the clutch that is a problem.

so unless its something obvious and wrong if the dealer looks or has looked at it. its not the car. but like i said, take it to the dealer or your sales person as to what they think and if not someone on the forum that knows how what its like to drive one.

Totally agree.

I should stop assuming interweb people understand what I mean.

By take it to the dealer I was meaning for them to have a look, test drive ect. Not just go say something is wrong. Driver error or not, with a brand new car dealer would be my first stop, at least for diagnosis.

[McGuyver_3]

I can't remember as I probably did this back in 08 the only reason I remember that was because the car was 3 years old at the time. Taking a guess i am pretty sure I pulled the flywheel though.

[bubba1983]

Right on. I guess cars are different. I figured a socket and a hamer would pound that thing out. Good to know

[McGuyver_3]

It was embedded in the block I remember that because we had to limit the amount of heat we used. I was thinking of leaving the old one in there but because knowing it would fail if I didn't change it I was determined to remove it

[bubba1983]

Oh damn it didnt come out with the flywheel haha. So messed

[kimy27]

Isn't your car new? Why are u changing it?

my car is almost new. 2012 mazda3 sky manual

i just want to get information about changing cluch pad.

[kimy27]

i posted this article first time.

so many people is arguing about me and my car.
i got my car 3 weeks ago (2012 mazda3 gs skyactive 6sp manual)
my car is perfect. there is nothing wrong. i am fully satisfied my car.

i just want to know and get information about changing cluch pad.
especially, price.

[HavocSteve]

2010 MS3 OEM clutch replacement from dealer with parts + labour.

$2100 total.

It should be less then that I hope. Although I would never pay $2100 to a dealer for a clutch replacement lol. Do a google search. I found MS3 clutches for around 400-900$.

It will cost you anywhere between $800 to $1500

If you go with a performance clutch, it'll cost more

LAME! I thought you McGuyver'ed it at home with nothing more than a paperclip and some chewing gum.

Do you think it's something 100% impossible to do without a lift, even if a lot of time and patience?

You can do anything without a lift my friend

[stevenma188]

I guess, with enough jackstands and jacks, should be do-able.....

You would need to get the car high enough so you could hang the engine from the passenger side motor mount and you would need enough room to get the trans to slide out. I also used an engine support from the top to prevent all the weight from being hung on the passenger mount. The easiest way to do it in a driveway would be to pull the motor completely but then you would need an engine crane and it would be unnecesary work

[McGuyver_3]

they key is "high enough" jacks/jackstands not "enough" jacks/jackstands

[mazdasport]

it should be posiable without a hoist i changed many honda civic transmissions by letting the motor hang and sliding them out i imagin most fwd standard transmissions come out this way

Yep. My girlfriend's brother swapped the transmission on his truck on the weekend using jack stands.

[stevenma188]

RWD will be easier.

[McGuyver_3]

Not to rain on anyone's parade but when I did my clutch I bought an exedy clutch, pilot bearing, pressure plate, release bearing and clutch align tool for 250$ shipped taxed to my door. Took me a good day to do the labor so 8 hours sounds reasonable. Pilot bearing was a serious pita because I didn't have the right tools. 1650 plus tax sounds steep to me but that's because I work on my own car lol

oh yea if you can do it yourself. to save the labour that makes a big difference. helped my buddy do his clutch on the focus... twice... couldnt let it wear in and killed it in 3 days. but its not a job i liked to do.. but i dont know if they have any aftermarket options available yet.
