Nov	2009	19220		First odometer entry
Apr	2011	34060	0	Clutch intermittently "groans and moans" when engaging a gear. Cannot replicate easily, but frequency of occurrences increasing over past few months. Noted.
Oct	2011	39060	0	TSB for replacement of clutch master cylinder. Groaning of clutch and irregular clutch takeup. Replaced entire clutch. I paid $488 for the "parts" (they initially wanted $900), labor covered by warranty repairs. It has been occuring since ~40K km and considering the 3 other drivetrain-related repairs, I argue the clutch got unusually worn. Both driveshafts vibrated / shuddered violently under throttle. Technician came along for test drive confirmed that "they're either loose or about to break". Driveshafts were replaced. Fluid leak between engine and transmission. Repaired under warranty (not sure if original drivetrain warranty, or under my CPO warranty)
Feb	2013	49880	0	Heat shields had come loose, and now started scraping loudly. With the garage unable to take me right away and having lots of appointments, I lifted the car and it was a simple procedure to remove them myself.
