It might be worth checking the linkage nylon bushes (underneath the car - the linkages between the gear lever and the gear box ...) I replaced mine a while ago. I got the parts from Mazda and they were quite cheap. Installation took a few minutes. The improvement was considerable !!! 
See http://www.club323f.com/club323f/forum/ ... age+bushes for details & illustration. |

Dump the car into neutral, pump the clutch once and then try... Works for me on reverse 
No need to restart the car |

Mazzy check where the cluch pedal is housed in the footwell, i had the same prob and the weld on the housing had snapped, so the cluch was'nt engaging right, worth a look first. |

Mine had the same problem - I've heard of a few cases ... I fixed mine by making a nice big washer out of 3mm steel ...
