Are you out of warranty?
I've been trying to get mine replaced under warranty for about a month. First they "could not duplicate" the rough idle and hesitation per TSB. Next time in they had a printout from a Mazda service tech extranet about aftermarket intakes (especially with oiled filters) can cause rough idle and can damage MAFs. They said to put stock intake back on and take it from there. I've cleaned my maf, inspected and found it clean since then, and the idle has gotten worse since having the aftermarket intake.
Good Luck.

The specifics on the powertrain warranty can be found here and the explicitly call out engine mounts.

If you're still within your factory powertrain warranty 6/60K then they are covered under warranty and it should be free.

Wow... they told me powertrain doesn't cover the motor mounts. I wish I would have seen this before.
Thanks
