[redman3170]

I am having trouble with my transmission and i need help if someone can help me out!! My problem is that it started to not going into 3rd gear and now it is having a hard time going into 2nd gear! is the tranny going bad or do i just need to change the transmission fluid and filter and that will take care of it or is there some other problem i am not aware of? thanks for all the help in advance!! It Is a mazda 929 1992 model if that helps!

Check flued level on level ground eng running warm if low add if discolored but level ok pos damage. also check the vac modulator valve on drivers side of trans.
Pull off hose if flued comes out replace it. BECARFUL there is a small rod that can fall out when mod valve is removed. May want to have shop do this job .

redman3170, I'm having the same problems you had. did you get it worked out?

redman has not been back since that last post
so most likley the problem was solved

...or he, like many (too many if you ask me) forum posters, forgot that following up with the resolution on a posted problem/question is a polite way to thank those who took the time to contribute to a solution.

I'm also assuming redman fixed his problem. I, on the other hand, had to get a new transsmission - all told between parts and labor $1600.00. Having installed a new brake system (pads, calipers and rotors,), a new thermostat and radiator and now the tranny, my 92 should be humming along for a few years.
