WHEELS, POWER TRAIN
THE PROBLEM, I HAVE IS ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY FROM TAUNTON MA ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY FROM BROCKTON MA WHERE I LIVE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH, THE SPEED LIMIT. OUT OF NOWHERE, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. WHERE I WAS DRIVING, THERE WERE THREE LANES. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND HAD JUST ENOUGH SPEED TO GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO PHONE I DID KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON MY CAR NEVER SHOWED SUCH SIGN OF THIS SORT I WAS WITH MY FRIEND WHO TOLD ME TO PUT THE CAR IN D2. THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE SLOWLY, THAN STARTED SLIPPING AFTER I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, THAN PUSHED IT AGAIN, IT STARTED JERKING A LITTLE, THEN STARTED TO MOVE AGAIN. I BARELY MADE IT TO BROCKTON.

POWER TRAIN
THE HOLD LIGHT IS FLASHING AND IT DOESN'T CHANGE GEARS CORRECTLY. HAD THE TRASMISSION FLUID CHANGED AND UN-HOOKED THE BATTERY FOR 5 MINUTES AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A DAY AND A HALF. A FRIEND IS A MECHANIC AND FIXED IT THE FIRST TIME, BUT NOW WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PUT IN A NEW OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT IT USED IN JAN 03 WITH 122,000 MILES ON IT.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT A 1994 AUTOMATIC MAZDA 626 IN JANUARY 2002 WITH 104,000 MILES WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT HAD JUST BEEN REBUILT. AT 128,000 MILES, THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING AS NOW THE HOLD LIGHT HAS BEEN FLASHING AND IT HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING INTO GEAR. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG ALL MAZDA'S BUILT AROUND 1994 AND LATER FROM WORD OF MOUTH AND INTERNET ARTICLES AND FORUMS. IT SEEMS THAT THEY USE FORD PARTS AND HAVE A NOTORIOUS REPUTATION FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEEK INFORMATION ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES. *LA

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE ALTERNATOR OR WATER PUMP BELT BROKE DUE TO WATER PUMP PULLEY ALIGNMENT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND REQUIRE REBUILDING PROCESS. WATER PUMP PULLEY IS POSITIONED TOO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE AND NOT ALIGNED WITH THE ALTERNATOR AND HARMONIC BALANCER. V-BELT SHREDS OVER TIME DUE TO MISALIGNMENT AND LOST OF CHARGING AND COOLING IS INSTANT. WATER PUMP PULLEY ALIGNMENT SHOULD BE CHECKED AND ADJUSTED IF NEEDED, DURING ENGINE ASSEMBLY. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM), POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
1994 MAZDA 626 TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE MAZDA/FORD 1994 THROUGH 1998 CD4E TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO BE PROBLEMATIC ACCORDING TO SEVERAL TRANSMISSION DEALERSHIPS. THEY ALL INDICATED THE COST OF REPAIRS AND/OR REBUILTS WOULD RUN $2500.00 PLUS... WITH MINIMAL OR LIMITED WARRANTY ON REPAIRS. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT AN AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURE RECALL ON THE MAZDA/FORD 1994 THROUGH 1998 CD4E TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.
