Description of the problem	I have 103,000 miles. My transmission hasn't failed yet, which i now see i should feel lucky about. I have had all the other transmission issues i now find are common because mazda put too small an engine into this car. I have had the o/d light flash on and off, the transmission be jerky, check engine light on. (this has gone on for several years now) i was told by a dealer i needed a range sensor and an aftermarket transmission cooler. I thought i had a leak of transmission fluid but it's just spewing up from the transmission overheating. Every time they change the fluid it gets worse. Now i can see from what others say that my transmission will no doubt fail soon. I had to find this out by going online; no mazda repair shop ever told me any of this, until today when i was told that there was an "issue" with the 1998 transmission. Unbelievable. Mazda should have to do something since it's their design defect. I will never buy another mazda!!!!!!! Toyota, here i come.
