I have this issue for a few months now, the thing is it is intermittant, but when very cold outside it is very noticeable ,It's craking sound when giving the car gas, especially in the first and second gear, feels like something is loose, like moving around.
Engine or tranny mount? Or do you think it is something different?
Anyways my car is a 2010 Mazda 3 6 speed.

I can't hear it but your engine and trany move (flex) when you give it gas and it is supported by the mounts. There is more torque in lower gears therefore more exertion on the mounts. Try it in reverse and see what happens... it is a much lower gear ratio and a different direction. With it being cold they will be harder and not flex as much so you would expect to have more free play. You entire car will make different sounds at different temps.

you cant hear it? It's pretty clear IMO, thats all you hear almost, it's not the engine reving you hear its squeaking comming from driver's side, only once you hear my engine reving cause I go up to 2500, the rest it's the squeaking-cracking

The video quality is crap... too much rustling around and movement to tell what's causing every sound.

Get a camera mounted in the car so your not holding it, so we can see where/when the sound occurs. That would let us narrow is down to: Engine noise, suspension noise or Interior rattles.

The cold does give extra play in MS3 suspension and the I wouldn't be surprised if it was motor mounts act the same.
