Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Was at a stop sign. started to make a left turn, the engine started revving, and it felt as though the transmission was in neutral rather than drive. fortunately, no one was approaching , and the transmission finally shifted. once up to speed, it works okay. there was no earlier indication that this problem was occurring. currently, i can drive the car, but i need to shift between drive and 2nd. when slowing to stop, i downshift to 2nd just before coming to a stop. when starting from a stop, i shift to drive when the car reaches around 1500 rpm. mechanic says it'll cost me 3k or more for a new trans, or between $1200 to $2500 for rebuilt. called the mazda customer svc line. given mazda's history with 626 trans, i'm upset they have refused to give any help with this situation. *nm
