#683 of 747 Mazda B3000 Transmission Problem by jps9 Apr 19, 2006 (4:07 pm)
My 2001 B3000 started having automatic transmission shifting problems at 31,000 miles, as you can tell I hardly drive it. It started with a harsh 1-2 shift and then a trouble transmission light. After 3 trips to the dealer and a cost of $900 they resolved the problem by installing a kit that consisted of a updated seperator plate and EPC blowoff valve. The new plate had hole #50 removed, this is where I was losing line pressure. This must be a common problem with these model trucks and the Ford Rangers which are the same. My question is why did it take 31,000 miles to happen and why this is not a recall. I haved emailed Mazda and asked that question. Comments?

Replying to: rross1 (Apr 16, 2006 1:21 pm) Never mind...I fixed it. The ABS light was also on. There is a speed/ABS sensor located on the rear differential. I changed that sensor (about $32.00 at the Ford dealer) and the speedometer works perfectly at all speeds plus the ABS light is no longer on. Yippee!

Replying to: jps9 (Apr 19, 2006 4:07 pm) I had the some problem I had my transmission filter changed and the fluid changed. My truck works great now, mine started at 80,000km.

#689 of 747 1986 B2200 Engine Problems by smazda1 Apr 30, 2006 (8:15 pm)
I have a B2200 and am having engine problems. I was thinking about going to a junk yard to replace it and was wondering if someone knows what other pickup has the same engine? Can I replace a Nissan engine for this one? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
#690 of 747 1997 2300 engine ping by troy43 May 03, 2006 (6:01 pm)
The engine pings badly with regular gas, and even some with high test. Anyone know how to change the timing, reset the computer, etc. or anything that will allow the engine to run on regular gas without the ping, otherwise, I really can't complain about it, has 166k on it.
#691 of 747 1997 B??? Pre-Buy Help Needed by docwalleye May 12, 2006 (3:04 am)
I'm thinking of buying what I'm told is a 1997 B2500. Did Mazda make the B2500 in 97 or 98? I'm a bit confused with the year. Also, it's a plain little truck with a 4 cyl/5 speed and air with 67,000 miles. I'd appreciate any recommendations on things to look out for while test driving or, if a qualified mechanic should do it for me. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: jps9 (Apr 19, 2006 4:07 pm) I had similar problems with my '02 B3000 at 30,000 miles. The truck was out of warranty by about six months. Mazda turned a deaf ear. I had my local mechanic replace it with a low mileage used trans. This was cheaper than a rebuild. You would think Mazda would step up and do something since this seems to be a recurring problem.
