The only reason I need to look at my owner's manual is for the "fluids and capacities" section. Other than that, it's not very useful for me. But, I guess some people need it....

if it has warranty, you get a new tranny.

mazda doesn't overhaul anything anymore.

my guess, judging from the OD light, intermittent slipping and non-engagement, then complete engagement, was a bad selenoid body. the selenoid was stuck shut, and wouldn't provide fluid pressure to your clutch drum/reverse band and you couldn't get 1st gear or any other gear for that matter.
