Flashing o/d light, had to get new transmission.
After a year of having my Mazda 626 the o/d light kept flashing and shifting gears real hard. It cost me $2,300.00 to get the transmission fixed. Now it is happening again, a year later! Never to buy a Mazda 626 again!
I know what you mean, my car does the same thing!! Extremely annoying. Like when you stop and start again, it jerks you out of first. But I have found that if you restart it before you start moving again, it goes away, but if you are on the highway it would be sure to return. It is just a temporary fix though. since it goes away when you restart it, I believe that it is more of an electrical problem somewhere and not the transmission itself.
I agree, I would NEVER own another 626 again!!!
