(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  Clutch Vibration in neutral? Howdy, first post, not quite a member of the MS6 family yet, but maybe soon... I went to look at a 2007 MS6 today to buy on a used car lot. Car has 33k miles. CARFAX report is pretty normal looking, lots of scheduled service and whatnot. So I started it up and pushed the clutch in and out a few times in neutral and I was getting a vibration through the pedal. So then I got on here and started researching and found all this junk about bent rods and crap, so now I'm pretty paranoid about buying it. Does this sounds like the broken/bend rod thing? I've never felt this through any other clutch pedal, stopped, in neutral... Thanks for the help! |

| Not Ranked : 0 score Need some more info. Does the vibration get worse if you rev up the engine? Does it vibrate when engaged (pedal out) or does it start when you depress the pedal a little? My guess is a bad pressure plate or maybe it just needs to be tightened. I am not a mechanic, just basing my response on what happened with my 94 mustang gt.

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score I didn't notice it just resting my foot on the pedal, only when the pedal was being depressed, most of the way through the travel. I actually didn't even get to take the car for a drive cuz they were about to close (lame, I know), so that's all I know. When I go back and actually drive it, what should I be looking for in terms of horrific potential issues? |

| Not Ranked : 0 score In the Mazdaspeeds, a vibrating clutch pedal is definitely a red flag. In the cases where people have bent rods, and soon after threw a rod through the block, the first thing they report is a vibrating clutch pedal. |

Ask to test drive it for an hour and pound on it when up to operating temps. It might blow but may be not.

Compression test, timing chain slack test rattle at cold start, pto leaks, signs of heavy modification. |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score ugh, well, so much for that then. I was really looking forward to a MS6 - only $14k with 33k miles, coulda been fun... Too good to be true though, haha. I might still take it for a test drive, I'll make sure to bring the salesguy with me so if the engine explodes he won't blame me! Back to my LegacyGT I guess... |

| Not Ranked : 0 score Do not buy that car. While its possible there is a motor mount that increases all vibrations, if the clutch is giving out of synch or moreso than the rest of the cockpit, gtfo. Don't think twice. Search zoom zoom boom on here.

| Not Ranked : 0 score when i was looking around for a ms6 i ran into the same problem. one dealer told me "it has a warranty they will take care of it" bull shit i said. warranty wont cover a pre existing condition, been down that road before. find another one, i finally found a private seller with a unmolested 06 ms6 with 60k on it and its been good. except for the vvt and a leaky transfer case which my aftermarket warranty covered. keep searching or find an ms3, those are simply everywhere.
