Mazda 626 transmission failure while passing another vehicle ( semi-tractor) passing gear failed to engage when passing another vehicle transmission never left drive but felt like it was in neutral,causing me to apply brakes and pull to side of road,found out by the machanic who checked out the transmission that it had burnt out at 67,000 miles! and that Mazda had a TSB out on these transmissions and did'nt bother to tell the owners of these cars nor will they hrlp in any repairs!.
My name is aise cannon but the car is under my father's name, calvin cannon. He bought the car for me. The gears sometimes will not engage and when I am finally able to switch gears the car will jerk about a foot back, and I've only had the car 3 months.
