Description of the problem | Last october (05), my automatic transmission, finally went out. Not wanting to spend to much money to fix something, when the car isn't worth it. I got a used transmission (not sure how used it was, but the guy that put it in, said it was really clean (little wear) on it. Now aug 06 the transmission is going out again. The system can't shift between 2-3 gear. I have yet to get it fixed, but it well probably run me around $1300 like the last one did. When the car itself is worth maybe 2,800? I think mazda needs to take some responsibility for this. *jb |
