Transmission Stuck In Gear Problems of Mazda 626

The contact owns a 1999 Mazda 626. The contact was driving 65 mph when the gears became stuck, the vehicle decelerated and the rpms increase greatly. The vehicle was towed to a local repair shop where it was diagnosed that the transmission was defective and would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 113,000.

We have Mazda 626 4cyl, 2000 yr. , automatic transmission. The transmission in our Mazda always hesitates to shift up and revs up to very high rpms eventhough the acceleration is gradual. There is also quite a bit of noise in the car coming from engine when I am merging on a freeway. The transmission seems to be stuck in a lower gear. The transmission was replaced by the dealer in 2002. However, the same problem remains to this day. Sometimes, when the car is cold, just when you start it in the morning, for example, the car accelerates suddenly and I almost hit my other car in a garage.

A 1999 Mazda 626 was purchased in June 2006 from carmax in tampa, FL. We traded in our 2004 Ford explorer for this 626 to save on gas. The Mazda has been in the shop 4 times for transmission problems, none of which have been clearly explained to us; nor are they explained on the receipts. The first problem we experienced was an overheated transmission which caused it to get stuck in second gear. The Mazda dealer recommended a transmission cooler once the transmission was dissected to be sure there was no internal damage. Carmax towed the vehicle from the dealer and had aamco do the repair work. New parts were ordered though carmax said aamco didn't know what was wrong with the car. Upon driving my 1 year old son home after this first repair, the transmission began to leak and make grinding sounds, none of which did it do before being repaired mind you. The second time we simply experience the stuck in gear issue again, however, this time belts were also squealing and our fuel efficiency has dropped. The third time seemed do be the charm, or so we thought. This morning driving the car to work, we experienced the same stuck in second gear problem we had originally! after calling the local store they said to take it to aamco. I never dealt with aamco before why should I take it there now. I also called the carmax corporate help line and they said they would call the local store we originally purchased the car from. I have yet to receive any phone calls or get the service or guarantee that carmax promised when I purchased this car.

At 97,000 miles my transmission failed. The o/d light blinks continuously and the car is stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear.

1999 Mazda 626. . . Just over 70k miles. . . O/d light flashing. . . Transmission stuck in 2nd gear. . . Hard shifting. . . Research revealed many more drivers with similar experience.

The gear gets stuck on reverse.

Whenever vehicle has been started, it would shake and tremble. Had taken vehicle to dealer, but problem had not been or could not be resolved. Mechanic did adjust transmission, but another mechanic indicated that transmission was stuck in 2nd gear and proceeded to repair it.
