The transmission has been replaced twice now. even after we get it fixed it stills jerks and sounds like the engine is going to fall out. it has a terrible time shifting from 1st to 2nd and sometimes when you put it in reverse it jumps and sounds like it is going to fall out. my dad is 94 years old and needs this car to work. he doesn't need to go out and buy another one or spend another $1800 or so to get this one fixed. i have read a lot of complaints about this car and the transmission and i feel mazda needs to make it right.
