Mazda AT light
I recently bought a 2007 Mazda3 with 186k miles,
it’s a 2.3 with a 5 speed automatic transmission.
Day after it was purchased I was driving down the
freeway going 70 mph and it all of a sudden shifts
down from 5th to 3rd making me almost eat the
steering wheel while this happened to AT light came
on. This all happened in the matter of 1 to 2
seconds then went back to normal like nothing
happened. I now drive in manual mode and when it
does happen it doesn’t downshift just feels like a
light tap on the breaks and AT light goes on then off
again. Took it to a transmission shop and they said
it was not reading any codes but could be the range
sensor? Before I start throwing money at this thing I
was wondering if someone had the same
experience as I and could help me out, thank you.
