I'm wondering if anyone can help diagnose this problem I'm getting.
When I take off from a hill I get this weird screeching noise. Almost sounds like wheel spin but it definitely isn't - tested it on my gravel driveway just to make sure. The duration of the noise gets longer relative to the angle of the hill and how hard I take off. Maximum 1 - 1.5 seconds. Seems to be a little delay in response while taking off too.
I'm guessing its clutch related but I really have no idea.
Car has done ~140.000kms.
I'm still on my 3 month statutory warranty so I'm taking it back to the dealership (Mazda) as soon as possible but I thought I would post this for a couple of reasons.
1. To be given some kind of clue to what could possibly cause this problem, and
2. Get an answer from the dealership and help anyone else who may get the same problem.
