My wife and I are in our late 30's, early 40's. Original owners. We followed the maintenance program ($$) to extend the life of our vehicle. Today I am informed that the crankshaft is out of spec and we need the engine replaced. Popping of the clutch is what can cause the crankshaft / housing to become out of spec. Apparently, I like to 4x4 in Alberta fields and drag race on the local track. Mazda is not interested in finding out why at 119,000km engine failed. Sad day. I used to own a 1976 Duster, 318 V8, and I had to sell due to gas costs. For 10G, I could have rebuilt it with a V6. Sad for me? I am.
