Transmission shuttering through shifting, o/d light flashes check engine light goes on when shifting to higher rpms. Transmission is about to crap out I've heard of these problems leading up to aprox $2,000 in every single one of these vehicles.

Check engine light came on local mechanic suspected oxygen sensor not covered by warranty on emission control components. Local mechanic charge 800$ to change o2 sensor did not fix problem. Took to dealer and changed another component to fix it. Happened because of manufacturer defect since there was no wear and tear and no external damage to the components. But I still had to pay for the work over 1200$

I had the transmission replaced on my 1995 used mazda a few months after I purchased the car. Even after the repairs, the o/d indicator light still flashes continuously, and the engine light comes on during/ after acceleration. My decision not to replace the transmission a second time was cemented after reading all the consumer complaints. I like the car, but I am almost certain the transmission is on its way to burning up again. It sure would be nice if mazda would remit to me the $2300.00 I sunk in transmission repairs. I could use the money as a downpayment on a non-mazda car.

The car is flashing the check engine light intermittedly for the last 2 months and today the o/d light flashed once. Last week the car would not go on reverse or in drive and then did it very "hard". Today, when idle it would not shift to first gear for about 3 seconds and then shift hard and drive normally.
