You probally have the Mazda M5OD R2, 5sp. manual. These can go bad, as they are the lighter duty manuals, but can go for long time as well. Are you sure the grinding noise is not the throw-out bearing grinding or clutch related. If you drive it in other gears does it make noise while moving? I know my truck in nutural does make a slight grinding noise (vert faint) from the bearing when in nuetrual and clutch not pressed.

I'm going to bet on his noise being something other then tranny.
my mazda is super quiet even though its a little Fed up

Yes, its an M5OD.

Did you use ATF or 10/30 in the tranny?
