Hi all I'm a newbie.
I've own a mazda for about 7yrs now, it all i drive and love.
my 1st was a 1994 1.3 AT 323 now i have 1999 Familia 1.5 AT love how it drives and plan to mod it some good day(Soon hopefully )
My problem is last year i had a similar problem my hold light flashing and the car not reversing. I had the trany pull down all clutches were ok and i changed 3 shift solenoids and still had the problem(Well my mechanicnot me). I took it to the garage they
ran Dianostic on it and could not find anything wrong with it.
I collected it and it was working fine . Now the problem has reoccured aagin but different now. It does change properly
and while driving the hold light comes on and it seems to be stuck in hig gear, so if i stop moving off is a problem. If the turn the car off and start again it goes back to the old state then after driving the hold light flashes on again.
I think it is an electrionc problem if anyone got ideas?

 

For anyone here who knows mroe about this model, it is the JDM name of the Protege. I can't help you on Protege (or 323) info but other users may.
