Hey guys, I posted this up a little earlier, but no one has seemed like they've wanted to contribute any ideas or anything to it... this morning on my way to work I was having some issues...
Model: 2007 Mazda6s 3.0
As I was getting off of one highway, and onto another... I was on the on ramp... and my car was staying in 6th gear. I was cruising around 40 mph, so I didn't think anything of it, but when it came time to re-accelerate onto the highway, I was pressing the gas, but my engine was not going along. Then, my trans tried to find where I was, and dropped down to 3rd gear, then it caught up with my foot on the pedal, shot up to about 5K rpm, but wouldn't shift up.
So by this time, I have some I-275 road rage idiots flashing their lights at me, honking like I was doing something wrong... so I threw on my hazards and tried to continue to accelerate.
The car then started to do what I could best describe as someone who doesn't know how to drive a manual car... and its trying to stall, the car jerks forward and backward... but meanwhile.. it finally evened itself out... and started to slowly reaccelerate for me.
This happened to me 3 times this morning... so I pulled off of the highways and stuck to surface roads... and I had no problem. But then again, I was coming to a complete stop and it was able to drop back down to 1st gear.
Now, it was raining a bit last night, and I was pretty low on gas, so right before I got to work I filled up my tank, just in hopes that it could be water in the gas tank... but I'm not sure if those symptoms would make me believe it was water in the tank.
Anyone have any other advice?
