RX-8 AT 6th Gear Question
I just bought a new Mazda RX-8 2006 and around the holidays I noticed the car shook while drving around 53 in 6th gear going up a slight incline. They replaced the engine and it seems better. It still seems a bit rough to me at times. Also, when going about 20 mph and i have to brake, with my hand on the shifter, i can feel the know move back and forth when i step on the brakes, like the transmission is just hanging on threads - is that normal?

What did they say the problem was with the first engine that made them replace it?

When they replaced the engine they said it was a compression issue.
