1993 Mazda B2600 i review from North America
"Perfect for new drivers, or just to get around, very long lasting"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drove it around town for about a year, then once I got a job about 16 miles away and it got down to 40 below (I live in Alaska), the transmission stopped shifting out of 2nd. It revs real high before shifting into 2nd, then won't shift after that. I believe I may just need to flush the tranny. It's an auto. When it's warmer (20 above) it works decently, but below that it won't shift. Should I blow 100 bucks on a tranny flush? Or is it not going to fix anything?
General comments?
Lots of dinks and tears, but I love it. I've slid this into a thicket of trees and popped it in 4x4 and driven right out. It's the best vehicle I've ever driven, and my dad agrees.
