What Does Your Mazda 3 Transmission Do?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2021 Mazda 3 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Mazda 3 transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your 3 isn’t working at all.

Questions About 2021 Mazda 3’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mazda's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mazda 3? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my 3 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2021 3’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mazda. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.

As your 3 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
