Consumer Description

MY 2000 MAZDA 626 (AUTOMATIC) BEGAN "JERKING" DURING ACCELERATION. WHILE ACCELERATING THERE IS AN INITIAL PAUSE AND THEN THE CAR JERKS AS SPEED INCREASES. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CAR IS HAVING DIFFICULTY SWITCHING GEARS. WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY INDICATED THE ERROR CODES SUGGEST THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONVERTER AND THAT I WILL NEED TO REPLACE OR REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. ESTIMATED COSTS FOR THIS ARE FROM $3100 TO ALMOST $4000. *TR
