Hi fellow 8 brothers and sisters, if anyone can please help me out! I think I have a problem in my car or maybe Im just too worried!

Everytime I get in the 6000rpm range my car makes this weird grinding noise. i dont know if its coming from the engine or the trans! Its not really loud, but loud enough so that I can hear it. Does anyone else have this same noise or should I take the car back to the dealer?

Forgot to mention that I dont feel a lost in power or anything just the weird grinding noise that I cant tell if its from the engine or trans. Does this noise happen in all 8's?

I don't have that. I'd take it to the dealer (or shift at 5500 RPM)!

Hi Girls & Guys too;
I purchased new "8" about 4 month ago and it have been at the warranty dealer over 3 times due to the same gridding sound under the car. At first, mazda told me that was the torque converter that was loose, they apparently fix it. But a few days after I got the same sound under the car again. It usually does it when I reach 5 to 6000 rpm. I left the car again at the dealer and it have been over 2 weeks and haven't heard from them. As soon as I receive my car back I will let yu gusy know what happend.

Could it be the recall item that we are about to recieve on some of the cars?
