Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Event leading up to failure: my 1994 mazda 626 lx 4 cyl. automatic car was not shifting into first or second gear well. i took it to a repair shop, and apparantly, my transmission is pretty much shot. this will be the 2nd time i have had the transmission fixed in the last 4 years. failure and its consequences: well, i am certainly spending more money on transmissions than i would have ever liked. if i had not brought the car into the repair shop as soon as i did, i most likely would have been stranded on the road if i continued to drive with the transmission in that state. repair shop has been trying to put a used transmission in the car from other 626's...but after 3 different transmissions, none of them have worked well. it looks like transmissions for mazda 626's 4 cyl autos were extremely extremely bad in 1994.*ak
