Consumer Description

SHIFT SHOCK WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CHANGES GEARS. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT, ONGOING OCCURRENCE. MAZDA HAS ISSUED A "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB)" (#05-005/05) TO THE DEALERS TO REPAIR THIS USING A "FLASHING" OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT BECAUSE IT INVOLVES THE COMPUTER. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. THE TSB STATES THAT THE CONCERN IS CAUSED BY DRIVEN PLATE DEFORMATION DUE TO A RAPID RISE IN TEMPERATURE IN THE 2-4 BRAKE DRIVEN PLATE WHEN REPEATED SHIFTING IS DONE WITH A COLD ENGINE. IN PART, IT ALSO STATES THE LOGIC HAS BEEN CHANGED TO PREVENT AN ABNORMAL RISE IN 2-4 BRAKE DRIVEN PLATE TEMPERATURE. I HAVE A COPY OF THE BULLETIN AND CAN FAX IF NEEDED. *TR
