automatic transmission

I have a bone stock 02 Protege5 with Auto in it. Cruising along happily for about a half hour.....between 40-50mph it starts searching for the right gear, up shift and then back, just happens randomly. Any suggestions? Fluid full to mark and checking while warmed to operating temperature...

Hey guys. I'm new to this site and mazda in general. A few months ago I bought a cheap MP5 with a bad motor but still ran, that I couldn't pass on. I decided to do a fs-ze swap myself, and being a noob it was quite the undertaking. Now the motor is in and runs, but the tranny decided it doesn't...

Hi, I have a 2007 mazda 3. I feel there is something wrong with the transmission. When I drive the car the gear shift is not smooth and produces little jerks which I find strange for an automatic transmission. And when the car is cold putting it in reverse produces significant amount of jerks...

Yesterday on my way to work, My car started acting up. giving loud noises from the engine. Limped it in to the work parking lot. I left the car running and took off the oil cap and got sprayed in the face with oil. Motor needs heavy work I am assuming since its loading up so heavy. Instead...

Having difficult to understand the driving dynamics of this car after owning for 7-8 months. City driving looks very sturdy... when start driving from 0 to 20-30mph. Auto gear changing RPM for the 1st to 2nd RPM need to hit 2000 limit. and same 2000RPM limit for 2nd to 3rd. It is very...

Hi all, I was about 30 minutes into my morning commute and everything was normal. Then, I stopped at a traffic light. When I tried to accelerate, my CX5 jerked twice and when I continued to accelerate, the gears wouldn't change. It appears that my gears stopped shifting automatically. I...

I picked up an '08 Mazda6 about 3 months ago, had it checked out at a local mec. shop recommended to me and everything checked out. A diagnostic test was run through the computer and everything looked good. The only problem was a transmission oil leak that I had the guy fix. About a month or...

After having my new CX5 (AWD, Automatic) for only one week, I couldn't be any more thrilled. After an 80 mile road trip through the mountains with lots of climbing and decending, my trip computer registered 34 mpg for the entire trip. I was expecting only 30 mpg, so I hope the good mpg results...

mine completely broke last night where i could not move the shifter out of drive into park and it would not move to the side in my sport automatic trans. I took it apart from the top to reveal several plastic white linkages broken. this reminds me of when i had a vcr constantly eat tapes because...

I am in the process of installing my replacement 1.6 auto transmission in my 1999 Protege. However, I am having the hardest problem getting it inserted into the engine. Is there any things I can do such as inserting some pilot bolts. I would welcome any suggestions.

Hi all, just bought a 2011 Mazda 3i Touring with the auto transmission with the manual option. I recently had a manual P5 that I really enjoyed and this is the first car that I have owned with the manual addition. So far I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's kinda cool, but what are the...

I have an '06 3 hatch with the automatic/manual transmisison. If I have it in manual mode and I really get on it from a stop, the shift from 1st to 2nd seems really late. I will pull the stick to shift but it waits quite a while before the shift to 2nd. The rest of the shifts are smooth and...
