You made to many guessed changed parts and also asking the question not provided detailed service information about your transmission?
Your best advise at this point is find a Transmission service shop and have them do a transmission service inspection. They should have the proper testing equipment that will check the TCM or ECU pressure testing and a few other inspections to give you an idea about the issue. I would suggest that you not mention unless they ask if you already went and changed those parts you mentioned. Most shops will likely tell you that the diagnostics will now be to drain and drop the pan and pull the complete valve body min. to check for issues. At this point you may as well start looking for a low millage transmission that come with a slight warranty through the many places across the US that offer them.
This information is for USA and Canda (your profile does not state where in the world you reside??? )Mazda owners only. I have no idea what in this case service shops in other countries would do?
