1993 Mazda MX6 Mystere review from North America
"It's a beautiful car with a useless spine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a Mazda mx6 1993 model. I got this car this year and it was driving extremely well. I noticed that the gears were not shifting properly anymore. The car would delay changing gears. I decided I would take the car to the mechanic at the end of the August month.
One morning, the unthinkable happened. I started the car to leave for work and the car would not get into gear. I can change the gears, but the car doesn't realize that it's in gear. If I put it in first gear or fourth gear or even reverse, nothing happens. It's as if the car has forgotten that D means drive forward.
I like the little car, but I have not clue what next. When I try to put it in gear the hold light flashes and it doesn't move. Can anyone please advise me on what could be wrong with my car. There is got to be a way to fix this without getting a new transmission.
If anyone has experienced this please let me know. A friend whom I bought the car from had the transmission changed 2 years ago with one from a car that had 40,000km on it. So this transmission should be good for another 10years.
When I shift gears, the engine realizes that I have shifted down or up, but it doesn't move the car. Help.

General comments?
The car handles extremely well, but I need to get this hold light to stop and I need the car to shift into gear.
