Speedometer was not working properly. When driving speedometer will go back to zero. Gauges on dash will start to act erractically. Vehicle stayed in third gear. Also, had to stop vehicle and let it sit, and then start vehicle back up, and everything acted normally. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated could not fix problem. Contacted Mazda, and Mazda indicated that there was recall 99I005000 on 1994 model.
"O/D off" light flashes; car shifts rough as accelerating. Took vehicle to local dealer; told it was a common sensor problem which they claim they adjusted. Problem returned after 4 days. Rediagnosis at dealer (which took 3 days) stated tcc solenoid. Took it to a local transmission shop, and stated that dealer put it in writing that it was the tcc solenoid. They replaced the solenoid for $353. Six days later problem returned, slightly worse. Called transmission place back. Was informed that the tcc solonoid was not the problem but they replaced the part because that is what I indicated the problem was, per the dealer. Car rediagnosed; problem is a code 628; clutch converter, and that it is an ongoing problem with Mazda, commonly resulting in regular transmission repairs every 15,000-25,000 miles.
