Replying to: smadike (Jun 10, 2009 5:31 pm) reverse gives a big jolt and the "AT"code shows up on the screen   Sounds like you need to take the car for a checkup at your local garage.   p.s. Mazda does not have a tiptronic, that's VW. Did you mean automatic transmission (AT)? Replies to this message: yoshi99 (Jun 29, 2009 8:34 am) natwal (Jul 16, 2009 9:21 pm)

Replying to: autonomous (Jun 11, 2009 2:40 pm) I have same issue started about the same time as micks80. Took to mechanic hooked up to computer but no error codes. Waited until light came on again still no error code. Now light goes on while driving, car rides rough only when AT light on.   FYI, 2004 Mazda 3 Hatchback does have an alternate tiptronic shift

Replying to: smadike (Jun 10, 2009 5:31 pm) I have same year 2004 Mazda3 Hatchback with about 97,000 miles. Same problem started about 3 weeks ago. Now light comes on & goes off randomly. Had my mechanic check but no error codes. Waited for AT light to show and drove directly to him again with AT light on still no error code. Any resolution to your problem yet?

Replying to: fasterthanyou (Mar 06, 2007 7:23 pm) I am having an overheating problem with my 09 Mazda 3, 5 door transmission. It will not shift to 5th gear when it is hot or outside temp is 106 F. I have been told by Mazda customer relations that this is normal and I should pull over and let it cool down. They call it a fail safe measure that the transmission has in it. There is no code for this problem so they are saying that it is normal. Is anyone experiencing this problem or can you tell me what my next step should be?

#156 of 191 RESOLUTION "AT" Light by yoshi99 Jul 06, 2009 (10:05 am)
FYI: Took car into dealership for "AT" dashboard light. Discussed all info received from this Forum after diagnostic test run. Required NEW TRANSMISSION, luckily I was still under my extended warranty with 2,600 miles to spare. For once it paid to buy it. Waiting to get car back.

Replying to: mazbad (Jul 06, 2009 9:52 am) That sounds like a load of bullcrap! The inside of a manual transmission is designed to withstand much higher temps than 106F. I've owned nine vehicles over the last 19 years, all with manual transmissions and have never experienced any heat-related problems.   The idea of it NOT shifting into 5th as a fail-safe is illogical! Driving in 4th at highway speeds will put a lot more strain on the engine (running at higher rpm). I have a 2006 Mazda3 2.3L/5-speed manual and live in Atlanta. It gets close to 100F often during late summer and I've never had anything like this happen.   In addition to talking to others on this forum, I'd also suggest Mazda3Forums.com. There are a lot of helpful folks on that site including some Mazda service techs.

Replying to: autonomous (Jun 11, 2009 2:40 pm) Hi there. I have a 2008 Mazda 3 4 dr. automatic and my AT light came on today. Luckily I was within a half kilometer from a Mazda dealership. They have decided to replace my transmission. Luckily I am still under warranty.
#159 of 191 2004 Mazda 3 Transmission issue by boogaliu Jul 20, 2009 (7:38 am)
My daughters Mazda 3 needs a new automatic transmission and it only has 45000 miles... Unlucky for us as the warranty expired. This automatic transmission also has a manual mode. Her boyfriend would only drive it in manual mode... could this be the cause of the transmission dying?? Dealership wants $5000 to fix but felt bad that it died so early that they gave us a deal for $3500. Can anyone suggest a reliable transmission shop in the San Jose,Ca area?

Replying to: boogaliu (Jul 20, 2009 7:38 am) There is a shop in Santa Clara (I think that's near San Jose, right?) called Rotorsport- LINK. According to several users on other Mazda3 forums, it's a reputable, honest shop. I'd definitely get a quote from them.   Another option, if you're trying to repair it as inexpensively as possible, is to find a used transmission on eBay. Just search "Mazda3 transmission" and you'll find quite a few. I know mechanics who would install one for $200 or less....you could end up spending less than $1000 if you're lucky!   Best of luck!
