Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILURE, MAZDA 626, YEAR 2000. THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE. FOLLOWING COMPUTER CODES LED TO $800 IN UNNECESSARY REPAIRS. CAR DRIVES WELL UNTIL O/D BEGINS TO FLASH, RPM FLUXES BETWEEN 1000 AND 5000 AND TRANNY SLIPS. ON PARKING AND SHUTTING OFF MOTOR THEN RESTARTING AND SHIFTING INTO DRIVE TRANNY SLAMS INTO GEAR WITH A BANG. NEVER KNOW WHEN RPM IS GOING TO GO CRAZY AND THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP. THIS CAUSES A MAD SCRAMBLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHICH IS SOMETIMES HARD AS YOU MAY BE IN THE PASSING LANE. COST ESTIMATES RANGE FROM $1800 + 400 600 FOR INSTALL FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FROM A DEALER OF TRANSMISSIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS CAR. THIS MODEL/TRANSMISSION COMBINATION IS USED ON ABOUT THE 10 PRECEDING YEARS. TAKEN TOGETHER THEY PRESENT A GOOD CASE FOR A DEALER RECALL I WOULD THINK. EVEN THOUGH MAZDA ISSUED A TSB IT IS ONLY MEANT TO DELAY THE PROBLEM UNTIL ULTIMATE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR
