1995 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Frustrating 626"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got what I thought was a "good deal" on my 1995 626. However, I have had the same transmission problem oft described here, with the OD light flashing and super-hard shifting. My car required a new torque converter and shift kit or shift reprogram. Now I am also in need of a transmission mount.
General comments?
I know my car has very high miles on it, but based on the problems people are mentioning in their reviews, I will be getting rid of mine very soon, as it seems to be trying to fit in with its peers more and more.
