Default Weird problem on my Mazda 3

Hello (excuse my poor english) I have a very weird problem om my Mazda 3 2015 modell ... For some reason every time i go out of the gate on my house in the morning(i turn full right) and let out the clutch it start to wiolently kind of janking and makes big noise(it feels like the clutch is slipping hard) ..... Now the problem is that it ONLY happends the first time i start in the morning out the gate.... When it happends i stop and start again and NOTHING... I have now been at the garage with it and he tested the car,i was eith him and we could not get it back,he lifted it an look at brakes,driveshaft,engine mount etc etc and all looked fine... He started it in full turn like HARD and tested every possible way to try to get to do the same and nothing... This has happend every morning the last week and only the first time i start... I cant understand how such violent janking and banging that it is can be only on one time and then its gone.... When i came home from the garage now i did the exact same thing out the gate and NOTHING.... It is so irritating becase when they cant hear it they cant fix it... I could start replacing drive shaft and just test but he said it cant be that,he would have heard something from it..... I dont know what to do.... Anyone have ANY idea???

No ideas yet.

Can you leave the vehicle with your shop overnight so they can test it first thing in the morning like you do? If the vehicle jerks and is noisy for the mechanic as you describe on their first start then, the mechanic will feel what you feel.

Yes he he wanted me to do that,but i need the car.. But i guess i have to do exactly that if i dont find out anything... It is still unbeliveable weird becase it is clearly a mechanical noyse,it is not the engine... It is just like the clutch is slipping on/off on/off hard just *** i turn out the gate... I was thinking about replace driveshaft just to see,but he said that it is very unlikely,we had heard it when we tested it if it was that... No i draw a blank here mate,i dont know what to do....

First do not replace any parts that you have not varied as fault. Doing that type of guessing game replacing random parts often creates more issues on top of the original unresolved one!
Driving on a known issue will likely cause more damage and cost you more in the end. You first responses indicate this and the need to get it proper diagnoses and repair quote and or expect a lot more $$$$ when things break from cause and effect of continually driving with a known or questionable mechanical issue..

Unless you have experience with knowing how to check the system then it is not recommended that you attempt a DIY diagnostic check.
I would however recommend that should you use a service shop make sure that shop employee and that you can ask that they be the one to diagnosis your issue is currently Automotive Diagnostic Technician, or a very current and experienced Mazda factory trained mechanic. Anything less you may be paying for more than an hour diagnostic fee. Under most circumstances it should only take an hour at best and regarding the clutch or transmission it should be less than an hour to diagnosis this issue.

I don't know what kind of shops they have in your country of "NO" to recommend??? lol
But there are clues in your wording on this and the other thread you started having another problem narrowing it down least 3....
