Nice Find Old Rotor!

Question... I have a 04' that I bought used from a Chevy Dealership. How do I make sure that my car's VIN # is registered with MNAO so that I am sure to recieve one of these letters?

Interesting to note that the warranty extension TSB applies to ALL 2006 MY cars, but previous news reports on the recall indicate that only early build 2006 cars will be recalled... wonder if we'll see that change in the recall?

Sweet, only if I run into this thread a few days ago that would of save me from having to stuck with out my car due to clutch failure on the way to work! I would of bring it in for a check up as it is developing some funny noises. It's being service at a chervon station at the moment 'cause I was able to make it there without any clutch for half a mile! I'll know more tommorrow on the extend of the damage, but the machanic told the pressure plate is gone, because the cluth has no pressure at all and stuck to the floor when depressed. I thought I was able to made it to this weekend so I can do it myself for an aftermarket clutch replacement, but I was wrong

I'm current at 58k, wonder if I maybe qualify for a re-imbursement.

nothing wrong with a longer warranty. Mileage wise that is.

I really doubt that it's the P-plate.

You are halft right. It was the throw out bearing. I guess those long squeaking/shattling noise does play a role. This is what left of it. It's definitely a defect 'cause the pressure plate & disk are still in pretty good shape.

...assuming there are superchargers out on the market even by then, they're taking a while.

For some reason its always been there. My throw out bearing has always made noise and I was always told it was normal. Still does til this day. You would think they would've fixed that problem a long time ago.

YEah I'm lazy too cause my throwout bearing has made a ton of noise since I bought the car used with 14,900. It now has as of yesterday 30,300. Is that thing covered? I didn't think it was because it was considered a wear and tear part.

Zoom any insight?

Wow, all the sudden, the price for that extended warranty....even with it being a Mazda Extended Service Plan....seems to be a lot more than its worth. I think i might have a new fight to pick.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but....grrrr.
