Hello to all,

If anyone can help me before i just give away this car that would be great.

1998 mazda protege, auto, DX 1.5 Liter

I am having transmission problems, it runs fine in 1st and 2nd gear but once it tries to shift into 3rd or over drive it slips. Will not grab at all, just rev up. The R works fine to. The check engine lights is on but i was told by the OBD reader that it was the O2 sensor.

If anyone could tell me on what to do or help me out that would be wonderful.

If i need to replace the transmission does anyone know where i could get a rebuild one, i can put it in myself. And i guess instructions for removal and installtion i guess would help to.'

Hopefully it doesnt come to that but what has to been told has to been done. Thanks for any help everyone!

 

Take care of the check engine light problem first. With computerized cars, things are very interdependant. I take it you already checked the fluid. You might want to get the fluid changed (pan service).

ok well ill take care of the engine light today and i have changed the fluid and the filter in the past month.

 

UPDATE!!

Ok well i changed out the O2 sensor andno more check engine light, but it is still slipping...

I also forgot to mention that whenit started going out (transmission) the over drive went out first then 3rd gear. I coulduse the 3rd gear for a while before that went out. No problems whast so ever with 1st and 2nd no change. Im sorry that probably was an important note that i should have put in first sorry to all whoare trying to help me out. Thanks again

 

Can anyone help me out here? thanks

 

Time for a tranny. Sorry.

 

ok thanks for the help

 

yeah, it sounds like the seals in the tranny are gone or the clutch that handles those two gears is wasted. either way, rebuild it.
