My 2014 Mazda 3 (2.0 stick) has developed some clutch shudder. It's most apparent when cold and goes away when it warms up. It's got about 42000 miles. Also, the passenger side engine mount (#3) is leaking with oil seepage around it. I wouldn't say it's blown, still feels solid, but definitely leaking. Mazda issued a service bulletin (01-012/16) for this #3 engine mount and has a new/revised part (GHY1-39-060 / GHR9-39-060A). Despite the low miles, it's out of warranty on calendar time. It's about a $100 part and labor is free (DIY).
I suspect these problems may be related. I plan to replace the engine mount, since it's leaking and I should replace it anyway to get the revised part. If the clutch shudder goes away, great, I'm done.
Question: what places do you recommend for buying OEM Mazda parts?
