Have you been to Mazda for a code check on the transmission?

Could be a gunked up solenoid valve.

There is no check engine light on. Will the transmission need a special code reader. I do have those $70 code readers do you know if they will read trans codes.

Not all fault codes illuminate check lights.

Your tester may or may not check the transmission, some do, some don't, None have the full range of codes that the genuine Mazda testers have.
