They (Mazda) have a history of gearbox issues. You need a transmission specialist or an auto electrician to use a professional grade scan tool computer scan for DTC codes and test for transmission solenoid operation. They are bi-directional and and instruct solenoids to operate and verify that they have.
The clutch on mazda cars shares the same fluid reservoir as the brakes. Bleeding the clutch is just like the brakes. The clutch slave cylinder is on the front side of the transaxle. You can find it by following the line from the master cylinder that does not go to the ABS unit/brakes. bleed just like brakes, you have to pump cl utch to get are out of it.
First off - if your pull your dipstick and there is oil on it - then oil is in the right place.
Unless you have the tools - large jack - -pan - oil filter removal [ if transmission fluid is in there - it can wreck your car unless replaced ] etc - I would just take it to a trusted oil change place - right now Good Year is having an oil change special and they are professionals that can tell you for sure which fluid is where.
Good luck with it - let us know what you find out.
When you go the autoparts store to buy it tell them you have a Mazda and they can look it up and tell you exactly which one, but probably Dextron 3 but confirm that.
manual gear boxes do not have a dipstick , there is a bung plug on the side of the box , about 1/2 way up. to check oil level,umdo that bung plug the oil level is the bottom of that hole.when at correct level oil will just drip over the lip.
it seems that the gear bushings have worn out. you need to take your car to a mechanic to have the bushings changed. Also, please check it your car has enough Automatic Transmission Fluid.
Don't listen to the other guy, I own a 1990 1.8L mazda protege with a manual transmission. Yes it will make it easier to hoist it up. I am not going into extreme detail so as long as you know a little about cars this will be a great help. on the transmission locate the drain plug, it will be on the bottom of the transmission. don't loosen it yet you want to make sure you can fill the transmission before you drain it. there is no fill plug, you have to fill the transmission through the hole the speedometre cable is attached to the transmission. the speedometre cable is straight up and down/vertical, it should be above the passenger side cv shaft coming out of the transmission. remove the small bolt holding it in place and then pull it straight up and out of the transmission. now drain the transmission. put the drain plug back in and start filling, make sure not to overfill you are not supposed to fill it right full. Make sure to check the fluid level as you fill, the transmission is at the right level when the gear oil is just at the top of the speedometre gear that is on the end of the cable that is inserted into the transmission. I believe these transmissions take 75w 90. Hope this helped you, and maybe future people who view this looking for help.
