Blue clutch is normal!!!

Well everyone it has been speculated but I confirmed it through my local parts department. For those of you that had an exploded clutch and was told that it was abuse since it was blue.

A brand new clutch is blue in the center of the clutch disc. Call your parts department and confirm as well if you have the chance. It will be great ammunition for the many people getting screwed by Mazda.

Like myself for example my transmission is in shambles and Mazdas claim is that it is not covered by warranty. Of course they can't tell me what broke the transmisison but they sure know they're not paying. Figures huh? So I'm looking at a 2grand rental bill and a 6 Grand repair bill. Does the multi billion dollar corporation care though, well hell no. They already go their 30K+ from me this is just a chance for them to get more.

I tell everyone here now on though anything related to Mazda/Ford will never get another dollar from myself or my family.

Yeah I've considered that post my bible for the last two months. Took it all the way to my dealership's president, the regional warranty representive, MNAO Legal, and soon we will be in a court room.

It's ridiculous to me, it's ruining my life yet I'm sure some mazda exec, has a freakin toilet seat that's >$6K . What ever happen to taking care of the customer.

I've never drag raced the car, power shifted etc. As many will agree it's not a drag car. Plus the damage is to 3rd and 4th gear. Power shifting at +90 MPH no thank you.
