1998 Mazda 626 transmission problems

Filed Jan 8, 2018 · Electrical, Transmission · FL

Since owning the mazda 626 I have had a very big problem the transmission slipping. It will slip going into second gear. If its below 60 degrees the car wont shift into drive until the motor gets hot enough. The car is like this every single day and does it every time it is driven. Also the interior lights work somtimes on and off and the back windows wont roll down from the driver button

Takata recall. The transmission cd4e tranny doesn't have switch gears unless you use excessive RPM.

Transmission problems! Right now the car is at the mechanic having the transmission replaced. I know I am not the only one with this problem, please do something. Right now replacing it for a rebuilt one is $1,100, but being a manufacturer problem, it may not last another year. I am the 3rd owner, so I am not sure how many more times this transmission have been repaired or replaced, but when I bought it was working well.

I was driving home(logan) after driving from logan,ut. To layton,ut. When I heard a loud pop, the rpms redlined and the car stalled out. I pushed the car (1998 mazda 626) to the side of the road, the car was smoking so I opened the hood and smelled transmission fluid, I looked under the car and seen transmission fluid leaking on the road. This car has had an external transmission fluid added and it has still gone out. I am trying to investigate the problem for myself and have not come to a conclusion yet. I do not have the money for the service to be don so I will try to contact mazda or ford to get the issue corrected, luckily I wasn't on a very busy highway or the problem could have possibly resulted in a serious accident or damage to myself or someone else.

The tranny was slipping and the od light kept blinking on and off and the transmission stopped working due to faulty parts, with all the other complaints on this transmission they should either replace the part(s) or buy the vehicles back from the consumer!
