| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving to a weekend getaway with my wife and a few friends my 1999 mazda 626's (85,000 miles) overdrive light startet to blink. i thought since i was going 80 mph and i have never driven that fast that it ment that the overdrive would not work. i checked the users manual and there is nothing in there about a blinking overdrive light. so when i got off the exit i noticed that it was shifting hard so i pulled ofer and the car was smoking. there was nothing wrong with the temperature or the coolant but there was transmition fluid all over the engire. i have just had the car towed to the mechanic and i belive it will need a new transmition. i have heard many many horor stories of 626's transmitions going out with relativly low miles and thought i would bring it to your attention since this should not be happening at 85,000 miles |
