Unhappy 97' Mazda 323 automatic losing power! help pls!!!

I've noticed my 97' 323 automatic is losing power. I've noticed it when I brought it to baguio, it cant seem to pull itself up, especially uphill. Its so obvious when u turn on the airconditioning. Even if u put the pedal to the metal, it sometimes wont accelerate...a mechanic told me it might be the automatic transmission, and hell its so expensive to replace the transmission...HELP GUYS!!!

just from hearing what you've described it sounds as though your exhaust may be stopped up. My pinto did the exact same thing....it wouldn't climb hills without losing power and stalling out. I replaced ther full exhaust with a header and 3" piping and no cats and it flew like demon!. Without actually driving your car though theres no real way to tell. Too many variables.

Cool new dashboard

hello's from Mexico. Tijuana!

Hey guys i just got a 97 protege, excelent condition, I want to fix it up, not to race it "tijuana streets suck!" you will lose the suspension in the first mile. hehe.

But well im wondering if there are like performance dashboards, or stickers so I can chance the lights and the whole dashboard if necesary.
any one can tell me where can i get them, or what are they called.!

Sorry Im really new at this.

Later.
Tj Ritchie.
