My Mazda 3 sedan with a 6 mt has an issue while coasting in 4th gear between 25-40 mph and accelerating up hill that the gear will jump into neutral without depression of the clutch. There is no grinding or other odd noises other than the shifter snapping out of gear. This happens often enough that I have begun to skip the gear entirely.
Experiencing noisy/clunky shifting when moving up or down between 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. (lower two gears worse) happens whether car is stationary or moving but seems worse when stationary, though this may be due to less engine noise and being able to focus more on the issue. Started to happen before even reaching 50k miles.
