The gear that i hold and shift just warms up all the time it feels like it might fire up. Then i took the car to a mechanic they couldn't do anything. I took it to mazda mechanic they charged around 900$. Then it didn't fix anything i went another one and they told me loss compression it was 115 that time. I kept driving it and they said i need to rebuild the transmission too.. I paid this car 6500. And now it s all bad. And apparently i need to buy new engine and transmission.
