Check the fluid level!! there are sensors inside the gearbox, starting on a hill would give a different reading to the flat, worth a try, auto wont work properly if fluid has either got too old or level is low

If its a front wheel drive car it could be a drive shaft

no blown head gaskets will boil very quickly I would be checking the temp SENDER unit for the temp gauge as it may be faulty and making the gauge read wrong run the fault codes to check for coolant SENSOR for a possible fault as well

from your description it sounds like you broke a u joint, but........ year make and model would help ALOT to narrow it down. and give you a better answer. let us know. Best to you.

did u remove the transmission and have it fixed or u just got one from the junker because shoul have low gear forward at least if ur second tranny have a good reverse and no low frward seems u pick a bad one and assuming the fluid level is good

check the radiator fan , maybe dont work

Check the cooling fan temp sensor, the fan might be working but it is not getting signal to turn on

alternator has no relay

If you were in an accident, it would need reset. Most likely your pump has died. The switch is on the passenger side. either under the dash, behind the kick panel, you'll see a hole in it to put your finger. Or it could be in the trunk behind the carpet. This is where I have found the switch in all makes and models.

Only Ford products use an inertia switch, and it only turns off in a wreck. Have you checked the fuel pump relay to see if it is sending power to the pump ?

Here is some video that will help.

Is this the original replacement? Same car?

HAVE YOU SEEN IF THE SENSOR IS DISLOCATED?

Chech plugs and air filter

code p1788 refers to AT-3-2 timing/coasting clutch solenoid--open circuit during self test===causes--wiring--mechanical fault--engine performance---ECM Take it to a mazda service centre and get more information so that you can make an informed decision

When your drive belt becomes old and stretches so it is no longer tight enough the belt will make a loud squealing noise and will need to be replaced. While the drive belt is off during replacement, you or the mechanic replacing the belt will need to turn each pulley in the system that can be turned by hand to see if any of those are making a metallic noise also. If they make a metallic noise, they are worn out. It is common for a drive belt to wear out and cause this noise.

maybe time for a tune up or start looking for a hole in the fuel lines and tank.

First of all, is it leaking anywhere ? Second check your air filter.Third check your tire pressure on all tires,make sure they are all the same and at what psi they are supposed to be.Fourth check for mud caked on your inside rims.Also if car is running rough get plugs and maybe wires and get an oil change.

on tranny looks square
