Over the past few months I have a strange sound sort of a clunky click sound coming from somewhere under the engine/gearbox/shifter area.
It doesnt happen all the time and doesnt seem to be getting any worse. It sometimes happens when I accelerate, sometimes when I brake, sometime when I change gear, or sometime when I'm turning. In a 14mile journey it maybe happens 4 or 5 times. I can sort of feel it slightly though the pedals.
The other thing to note is that I had the back to sections of the exhaust replaced last year, passengers in the rear say they can feel it hitting off the floor and also I can hear a rattling when I drive past a wall or something which deflects the sound.
Any ideas?

Clunky Click Sound
your tranny mount or rear engine mount is probably cracked and not holding very well.
Also make sure to check teh tranny fluid and oil levels as that can cause excess vibration through the pedals.

Thanks for the reply - If it is the mounts then is it expensive to fix and is it an urgent problem?
I replaced my tranny fluid last year, although I did forget to put the washer back on and there is some oil around the drain plug although I never see any on the ground so I assume its not leaking too bad.

yeah if they need to be replaced then get MazdaSpeed from CorkSport, they cost just a few more dollars and you get more performance for the money. To check them you can climb under the car and look at them or use a pry bar to move the motor while looking at them. If they are torn (which is what worn out means) then you'll most likely see the tears when you move the motor with the pry bar. Move the motor front to back as this is how the motor flexes when you accelerate.
