1995 MAZDA 626 TRANSMISSION: I HAVE 1995 MAZDA 626 BUT IT TENDS TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION BREAK DOWN WITH OVER DRIVE SENSOR GOING BAD AT 75000. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT WITH CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN, BUT IT WENT OUT AGAIN AT 130000. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.*AK

I HAVE A 95 MAZDA 626 AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE. THE O/D LIGHT CONTINUES TO BLINK. MECHANICS SAY THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALMOST EVERY SENSOR, BUT TO NO AVAIL THE TRANNY IS STILL ACTING UP. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THANK YOU. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED. INDEPENDENT SHOP REPLACED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ALSO, SPEEDOMETER FAILED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED. *AK

1. FIRST TIME MY TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDDLE THE RPM WENT WAY UP BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. I TRIED NOT TO PANIC AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAME RIGHT AT ME. BEFORE I KNEW IT, THE INTERSECTION WAS GRIDLOCKED AND HORNS WERE HONKING EVERYWHERE. I WAS ALMOST HIT AND WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. FINALLY, WITH THE HELP OF OTHERS THE CAR WAS PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED AWAY. THE FINAL BILL COSTING 2,300.00$. RECENTLY, IN A PARKING LOT, AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AND PUSHING THE GAS PEDDLE, THE CAR SHOT FORWARD (STILL IN DRIVE). LUCKILY THERE WERE NO PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME BUT I ALMOST HIT A CAR. I LOOKED AT THE CONSOLE AND SAW THE GEAR WAS IN DRIVE EVEN THOUGH MY SHIFTER WAS IN REVERSE. THE SHIFTING MOUNT IS UNHITCHED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN!!!! THIS IS A COMPLETE HAZARD AND I HAVE NARROWLY ESCAPED COLLISION AND INJURY FOR A SECOND TIME. 2) FAILURE IS TO BREAKDOWN IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND ALMOST HITTING A CAR IN A PARKING LOT. *AK 3) TRANSMISSION REPLACED USING OLD PARTS AND NOW THE SECOND TIME I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE.

OVERHEATED TRANSMISSION LEADING TO THE TEDIOUS AND COSTLY PROCESS OF GETTING ANOTHER TRANSMISSION WITH A COOLER KIT. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHIFT UNCONTROLLED. IT DOWNSHIFTED FROM OD TO 3RD THEN TO A NEUTRAL TYPE OF GEAR. THEN SHIFTED BACK INTO OD. THIS OCCURED SEVERAL TIMES.I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FILTER AND FLUID WITH NO HELP. MY CAR JUST TURNED 72000 MILES AND HAS BEEN ADULT HIGHWAY DRIVEN. I HAVE READ IN SEVERAL PLACES OF OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS SOUND LIKE A COMMON OCCURANCE AND SOUND BE INVESTIGATED FOR DEFECTS IN THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION.
