Mazda 3 Sedan 2.3L, 2006.
Completely stock.
95k miles.

Some issues as of right now:

~ Noticed some rattling when driving, sounds like it's coming from the back of my car.
~ Grinding gears when i'm trying to shift into Reverse, very loud, annoying, probably bad..
~ Wheel shakes when going 60-80MPH
~ Wheel also shakes when decent pressure to breaks.


I'm going to be taking it in to Hyundai for an oil change this week. I want them to check these things, but they usually don't take me seriously? for some fucking reason.
But more importantly, what are usually the causes for these problems? And cost repairs?
Thanks guys.

Take it to a shop. Could be all kinds of things. Wheel shakes could be anything from something in your suspension to a wheel weight falling off. Wheel shaking when braking usually has something to do with "warped rotors" but could be other brake components as well. Grinding gears into reverse is bad. Could be a syncho or even just may need a tranny flush/need more tranny fluid. Rattling could be many things, but if you have a rear sway bar, bad end links can cause rattling (usually when hitting bumps).

I do not have a Rear Sway Bar.

I had a mz3

Back could be the rear motor mount.


My tranny used to grind into reverse, but it went away. If this is the case, I would stay away from flushes of the tranny fluid.

You might want to take the wheel off and look to see if anything is broken... compare it to a well working wheel.

Tranny
