Is she really getting the clutch all the way to the floor? I've noticed women are worse than men for putting the seat too far back.

I bet if you keep pressure on the stick toward first, and went ahead and started letting the clutch out, it would slip right in there. Or just let the clutch up then back down again. I forget why this works, repositioning the gears or something?



Or you could have Mazda to try to fix it, but I'm sure they would swap out the tranny 3 times before you get tired of their **** and just decide to deal with it.

Yeah, I'm not hearing anymore about it, so either she figured it out or she'll abuse the car until it breaks and requires service. LOL.



I'd ride with her and see how she's doing, but this is her commuter and we never go anywhere as a family in the 3.



And yes Tyson, I do find it curious that I really only need to adjust the mirrors after she's driven my car. The seat position actually works for me, and I'm 6-foot, she's like 5'-5".

well a 5'8" woman usually has longer legs than a 5'8" man, but a big butt pushes them forward in the seat too. lol







Not sayin that's the case in your house, just sayin.

I'm 6'5", Edna is 5'10" (I think?), all I adjust when I hop in the 5 is the left mirror, and the rearview mirror.
