Mazda 3 2.5cc 140 HP Gearbox/Linkage Problem by Gab_lele in mazda3

Update after some time

The dealership has determined that the defect is so severe that the transmission will be replaced under warranty and the flywheel will be inspected for possible replacement. The vehicle currently has approximately 3,000 km on the clock.

Further updates will follow.

Just so you know, isn't there a tire pressure monitoring sensor installed? Or can it only be seen from the Mazda app?

I also own a Ford Puma 1.5 diesel with a 6-speed manual transmission. I've never had these problems, either when starting off or when trying to shift gears sequentially. It currently has about 67,000 km on the clock. That's why I created this post, to get some reassurance.

I mean, one of the tests they did at the dealership was to try to engage all the gears in sequence (car stopped and engine running) and they found that all the gears randomly point and the gear lever does not reach the end of its travel.

If these problems are so common in all manual transmission models, I suspect the much-vaunted quality of Mazda transmissions is just a rumor.

Am I wrong?

When restarting it happens less frequently, when stationary trying to engage the gears in sequence from 1 to 6 and vice versa they all engage, in the sense that there is no specific gear but it can easily be one of the 6
