I heard the new platform was loosely based on the 626, also. Anyone have hard data?   -juice

Does anyone have a suggestion for a fair price to pay for a new 2001 626LX 6 cyl with auto, Bose and Luxury Package (seems to be a freebie)? Input would be appreciated.

Carsdirect.com show price of $18,192. You can usually show this to any dealership and they will sell you the car at that price. Remember the 1.9%APR for three years and 4.9%APr for up to 5 years.
#868 of 2018 1994 automatic 626 by arklow Oct 04, 2001 (7:27 pm)
The transmission won't go in reverse or neutral. Mechanic says need another transmission. Only have 72,000 miles on it. Looked at a Mazda board and this seems to be a common problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this fixed cheaper than the $1800-2000 quote?   Someone said that Mazda would pay for the tranny and I just need to cover labor..    Help..otherwise I love the car. We had the catalytic converters fail and melt and the Mazda people covered it as it is a California car. Had trouble with local Washington dealer till Calif called and said to fix it.
#869 of 2018 Tranny repair. by mrdetailer Oct 05, 2001 (12:51 pm)
My mazda specialist does this with a tranny repair:   1. uses factory remanufactures transmissions.   2. Installs a GOOD after marked transmission cooler.   3. Uses Lubegard or Wearguard to lower the transmission operating temperature   4. changes fluid and adds the additives above every 15,000 miles.   When I checked on a friends car a few months ago, the bid you were given was inline. Unfair, but correct.
#870 of 2018 5 speed tranny blues... by ateixeira Oct 09, 2001 (7:30 am)
Add me to the list of tranny problems. This on our 1995 V6 5 speed.   Our tranny service light went on for about a second, then stayed off. I checked the level, and it was low, so I added about 1/2 quart.   Well, we took a road trip and the light came back on another time, for about 3 seconds this time.   I'm going to do a full change this time, instead of just adding oil. 75w90, and I'll probably go with Mobil 1, which has worked well in my Miata.   So, questions, anyone know the capacity so I know how much to buy? The Miata took 2 quarts.   The clutch grabs nicely, so it's not slipping. I'm surprised but the problem seems to be in the tranny itself. Any suggestions or thoughts?   -juice
#871 of 2018 Juice -- Yours is a Manual. by mrdetailer Oct 10, 2001 (7:42 am)
It's not the infamous automatic.   Everyone I know of with a Mazda manual has not had serious problems as long as they change and maintain fluids. My mechanic recommends every 30,000 with synthetic. He does lots of automatic transmission replacements, but hardly ever does manuals.   The only problem you see is a light. In my experience if manuals have serious problems, you know it right away.   I think replacing the fluids should be sufficient. Try Lubegard. It reduces acids and operating temperature.

I hope you're right. The light went away, and didn't come on when my wife drove it yesterday.   She'd forgotten that I'd asked her to park it. I'm off tomorrow so the gear oil will be drained and refilled. We'll see. Fingers crossed that it's no big deal.   -juice
