The transmission on my 96 Mazda 626 just started acting up one day it will work fine until it warms up then it starts slipping badly eventually acting like its in neutral. I haven't done anything but changed the fluid yet but im sure ill have to. The person I bought the car from had the same problem and he had it rebuilt now its doing it again. I googled my problem and it seems like its very common. Thank you william ehorn.
