Consumer Description

WAS AT A STOP SIGN. STARTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING, AND IT FELT AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL RATHER THAN DRIVE. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS APPROACHING , AND THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY SHIFTED. ONCE UP TO SPEED, IT WORKS OKAY. THERE WAS NO EARLIER INDICATION THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING. CURRENTLY, I CAN DRIVE THE CAR, BUT I NEED TO SHIFT BETWEEN DRIVE AND 2ND. WHEN SLOWING TO STOP, I DOWNSHIFT TO 2ND JUST BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, I SHIFT TO DRIVE WHEN THE CAR REACHES AROUND 1500 RPM. MECHANIC SAYS IT'LL COST ME 3K OR MORE FOR A NEW TRANS, OR BETWEEN $1200 TO $2500 FOR REBUILT. CALLED THE MAZDA CUSTOMER SVC LINE. GIVEN MAZDA'S HISTORY WITH 626 TRANS, I'M UPSET THEY HAVE REFUSED TO GIVE ANY HELP WITH THIS SITUATION. *NM
