Filed Feb 17, 2007 · Transmission · 12,600 miles · SC

I have owed 2 1993 ford probes and both have had the same transmission problem. The first one was only 1 and a half years old and there's a lot more out there with this problem the o/d light starts to flash and the car stops shifting properly then you take it to ford dealer or any other shop they say new transmission needed.

I can't even get anyone to work on this transmission. I call every single tranny shop I could find in 3 towns, not 1 will have anything to do with a proble tranny. This is crazy, ford or mazda should be paying for this, if they have a product, with such a well known problem. I wish I would of known, never would of bought it!

Automatic transaxle on my 1993 probe gt has an unexplained defect. Most repair businesses will not even touch these cars due to reputation. After $500 in diagnostic fees, the problem was ruled unexplained by aamco.

The transmission in my 93 ford probe is shot. There is no service station, etc. That will even touch the thing. They are know for this and you can't even get someone to work on it. Ford or mazda should be paying for this.

The distributor went out without warning. It has been noted to fail on these engines as the recall for prior years. In addition, the transmission has a habit of failing. For more additional information and complaints, please go to www.probetalk.com. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of others who have complained about their distributors and transmissions failing at relatively low miles.

The ignition went out on my car unexpectedly. Checked myself for spark and confirmed there was none. A local shop repaired the distributor for over $400. A month later, in an unrelated incident, the automatic transmission went out and after 4 weeks, 2-3 rebuilds and $2300 later I was back on the road. I have heard and read of numerous fellow 1993-1997 ford probe owners reporting these failures time and again.

At 37000 miles the ignitor within the distributor failed, stalling the engine and stopping the car in traffic. At 37000 miles the throwout bearing in the clutch was also vibrating bad and needed replacement. Then the airbag monitor shorted out for some reason.
