1998 Mazada 626 Transmission problems
We have a Mazada 626 and the OD light starting flashing and then the
transmission started shifting very hard. Now our car will not go in reverse, does anyone have any ideas? When we shift to neutral it will go forward and in reverse it will not go. HELP PLEASE!!!! |

I am having some what similar problems with my 01/626 I pulled up to my
house and put the car in park and went to back up and nothing. I am wondering can any one tell me if this sort of problem is fixable or should I just trade her in. It is a 2001 626 with 98k miles on it. And the gear shift moves but I get nothing from the transmission when I put it in reverse, drive nor any other gear. HELP ME please, this just happened last week so I am still in the denial stages. What can I do if anything. |

HELP ME please, this just happened last > week so I am still in the denial stages. What can I do if anything. Call the dealer or a transmission shop. Check with the better business bureau as to which ones are reputable. Your problem is fixable but it may be expensive. Based on the 98K miles most shops will want to do a rebuild or replace the transmission rather than find the problem and repair it. Consider the trade in value, the Kelly Blue Book is around $3,000 trade in for average condition and with the transmission not working will be much less... you'll have to make the decision. |

Thank you somuch for your in put it does help to know someone else is kind
enough to help with a question. Hopefully I will still be able to drive her once I have her serviced but I have heard they never drive or ride the same once the transmission is redone. Well we shall see what happens when I get her to the shop. Keep your fingers crossed for me. |

I had the same problems with my Mazda 626. 1) Do a goole search for "azda auto transmission" lots of them are failing, transmissions too small, and a 49.00 cooling kit may be needed. Hot and/or humid weather makes them act up - overheating per the web pages. Also search for the "EJournal". You will find lots of sources on line via Google. Get in line. 2.) Make sure your car is off, and the emegercy brake is on, and the your car is on level ground. For you shift problem, there should be a notch on the left side of your engine that shift your gears, it is shifted from inside your car by a rubber strap. Get a flash lite, have someone to shift gears, feel down next to the strap (when the engine is cool of course), and you should be able to slip this strap back on you car and shift the gears. You may also be able to shift by using your fingers to push the small shift notch (on the side of you engtine with your fingers (to park, reverse, drive, 2nd, etc.) A new one may cost you about 133.00 bucks? Check on the net for prices (do know the proper name for this part, sorry). That should at least get you going. A lot of people have and are being ripped off - 60 Minutes where are you? Best wishes & hope that help LCX. |
