You didn't say if you had checked your fluid level (car at normal operating temp., idling, in park, on level sirface, check level) which is about all a person can do, when automatics develop trouble..

Sounds like you need AAMCO free estaments from coast to coast as it sounds like you have cooked your trans and will soon need another

While driving 55-70 mph, the rpm just comes up about 300 rpm
THE ONLY REASON THAT THE ENGINE COULD SPEED UP IS THAT THE TRANNY IS SLIPPING IN THIRD OR OVERDRIVE IF AUTOMATIC. IF IT IS A MANUAL TRANNY THE CLUTCH IS SLIPPING.

Electrical and slipping Transmission
Transmission and gauges are probably unrelated. My '98 Caravan had 2 bad solder connections on the back of the instrument cluster where the connector attached. It takes about 10 minutes to get the cluster out. The bad solder joints were easy to spot on mine. It took 2 years for me to find the problem, but only 30 minutes to fix it and it hasn't happened again since (almost a year).

Does your Mazda have a standard trans (clutch), or automatic.
If it's automatic, the tranny might be slipping, and if it's a standard shift the clutch may be slipping. Does the actual driving speed (not engine rpm's) seem to stay the same when this happens? If you are still traveling at the same speed even though the engine speeds up, it's your tranny or clutch. I don't think the timing belt and tensioner have anything to do with this. countrycurt0
