HI,
I was just wondering if any of you had any trouble with the 4 speed automatic? I just had mine replaced, because they couldn't fix the problem it was having. When accelerating slowly, it slips going from 1st to 2nd. I took it into the dealership and they ran some tests and got on the phone with mazda techs but the only thing they could do is to replace the whole thing. Apparently they ran some pressure tests and thats when they realized that. Anyways it was all covered under warranty so I am happy, they even gave me a loaner car.

got mine replaced as well...i also drive ATX. i really upset cause there were only 30000km at the time. my tranny blew at 3rd and 4th. i was really upset...i don't even drive the car hard.

it has happened to others as well...even with manual transmission.

by the way...i just had to take it in again...now the left front axle and the final drive were bad. The axle got disconnected from the transmission somehow and the final drive is bad....have to wait for new parts so I will hopefully get it back next week...i'm supposed to get my rx-8 wheels too...damn it...i hope they get it fixed
