What Does Your Mazda Protege Transmission Do?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1996 Mazda Protege transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Mazda Protege transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Protege isn’t working at all.

1996 Mazda Protege Questions & Answers

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mazda Protege? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Protege towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Protege is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Protege's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Mazda Protege’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.
  • Can my Mazda Protege leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mazda Protege, 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.

  • Is it okay to drive a Protege with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
