mazda rx8 extended warranty
 

Does anyone know if the transmission is covered under this extended warranty?

I have worn syncros and was wondering if it would be covered...car has 78,000 on it 05 shinka.

Thanks guys !!

The extended warranty is just for the engine

yeah if it's the 8 yr 100k miles it only on internal parts of the engine i belive powertrain it 6/60,000....I think

78,000 miles and you were thinking transmission wear would be covered?

Haven't we yet reached the full cradle-to-grave, everything is someone else's fault, welfare state?

Why wouldn't it be covered? It was a simple question, I didnt expect such a sarcastic answer...the problem with some people on these threads!

But thanks to the kind guys willing to give me a reasonable helpful answer ! Thanks guys!

The 8yr 100,000mile warranty is just for the core engine components, so it doesn't affect the transmission at all. The transmission falls under the powertrain warranty, the length of which may vary depending on the year of your 8. Even then however, transmission syncros are rarely covered under warranty past ~10,000 to ~20,000 miles, since if there is a defect (the purpose of the warranty), it will show itself early. Any wear and tear from then on is generally found to be the fault of the owner, and Mazda is under no obligation to cover it. Even if you were not the one to put the wear on the syncros, someone other than Mazda did, so they won't pay for it.

Here's a question, and Im just curious.

My trans was replaced at 36K miles and its leaking fluid now at 70K. Did my warrantied trans come with a different warranty? Figured Id ask here instead of starting a new thread.

It would still be covered by the original 60K powertrain warranty. There's also usually some minimum warranty period for the fix itself, which would be important if the warranty work was done at say 59,000 miles.

I've got a question for kr1s. By "extended warranty" do you mean the regular factory warranty, or a separate extended warranty that you bought from the dealer? If it's a separate one, you'd need to check its terms.

I realize that, however Im at 72,XXX :uhh:

Im not really expecting it but I figured Id see if anyone knew.

i just bought a 2005 with 11000 miles on it so do i get the extended warranty

The warranty goes with the car, and the clock starts with the date of original retail sale. You get whatever remains in the 4 year bumper-to-bumper, 5 year drivetrain, and 8 year engine warrantees. There's a sticky at the top of this forum describing the 8 year warranty.

BTW - the 4 year BTB comes with free roadside assistance, and if your car is laid up with a warranty issue Mazda provides a free loaner.

simply put, no. Engine only. I'd love to see them drop a new tranny in at 80K lol. I had to fight tooth-and-nail just to get a new one in my 2006 MS6 with 16K miles and that was even in the intial warranty period.

Good luck.

Bases upon latest TSB the motor mounts are covered under the 8 year powertrain warranty.

If it is, i should have mine fixed. It bothers me when i'm in a full stop. I should look into that. Thanks for that info.

This must be the day of old bumps lol

there is no 8 years powertrain warranty, only 8 years Engine SHORT BLOCK warranty.

Dammit! I guess it will come out of my own pocket :banghead:

can you pass along that TSB? I would really like to get rid of my idle vibrations

used car under mazda warranty still?
 

i Bought 2007 RX8 from carmax year half ago and now my gaskets are out cause i got water in my oil and hella white smoke coming out my exaust the car was fine but i let it sit for the winter now i have this problem so i guess my question is would the extended warranty from mazda be on my car since i only have under 30k on the car and only 5 years old

Ask yourselves these few questions:

Is your car under 8 years old?
Is your car under 100k miles?
Is your car in the US or Canada?
Can you provide oil change receipts for the entire period of time that you have owned the car? You might not need them, but can you provide them?

If you said yes to all four questions, then you should go ask your question to your nearest Mazda dealer.
