What Does Your Mazda CX-5 Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Mazda CX-5 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Mazda CX-5 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your CX-5’s not even driveable.

2023 Mazda CX-5 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mazda's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mazda? 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. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CX-5 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my CX-5's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Mazda CX-5’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mazda CX-5? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mazda CX-5, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who can fix my  Mazda CX-5 transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for CX-5 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mazda CX-5 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your CX-5 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
