| Was about 2 miles from home, accelerating from a turn. transmission went clunk then noticible hesitation when applying gas. when car was parked, smoke coming from underneath the hood. checked and noticed burned trannie fluid covering components. had car towed to japanese auto. repair service. told needed new trannie. had towed to mazda dealership. dealership provided new trannie, radiator and coolant switch b/c common knowledge that radiator was not sufficient to help cool trannie. mazda covered parts, but in order for them to do that i need to pay labor and get timing belt, gaskets and seals changed. overall i am pleased with mazda's action, but i think it should be known that there are problems with this transmission/radiator combo. fyi. tom naso's staff was extremely courteous and helpful. i appreciated all their work.*ak | |||
