Well heres the deal, in my speed 3 over the course of the last few days ive been noticing the transmission is getting louder then it was when I got the car. Just daily driving the car going from 1st-3rd and some times at cruising speed in 4th and 5th gear you can hear the transmission some times over the radio and over the sound of the engine. 1-3 is really the worse but its been intermittent. Today at the stop light it was pretty loud and if I push the clutch petal down then it goes away but once I let it out its making the noise again. I can deal with the noise but last autocross I noticed that when ever I was in second gear and hard on the brakes(locking them going into ABS) the car would pop out of second gear EVERY time I did this. I know that's not normal, any ideas what it could be?
the car is a 2008 Mazdspeed3, with 7,438 miles.
