<![CDATA[Mazda hates me]]>Well it finally happened. I was driving today and felt alot of driveline lash in the first gears. I wondered so I checked and now I'm the newest victom of mazda's inferior RX8 diff support. Looks like I sheared off both front diff support shoulder bolts. This car has never been lauched close to the redline, had the clutch dumped, or on a prepped surface.

It won't let me upload pics. I'll post them later.

What if stronger bolts remove that weakness, yet cause a break elsewhere? Is there a TSB or recall on this problem?

Mazda won't own up to it yet. But I'm like the 100th person on mazda6club.com this has happened to, some people have even broken the housing around the bolts. It's under warranty and I'm mostly stock so it shouldn't be a problem. I'll find out this morning.
