Transmission whined when going over 20 mph, the transmission was replaced.
90000 mi
No parts have been replaced yet but at 90k miles the automatic transmission has started slipping when it shifts from 3rd to 4th. Only does it on the first shift on a cold engine so I'm going to try and milk it for a while. Also when I changed the spark plugs, cylinder 1 had oil on the plug so a seal is failing in the head. The car is driven 80 miles on the interstate everyday so I did not expect any major problems for another couple years. Very disappointing. Now I see why people buy boring Camry's. This is my first Mazda.

Gearbox plastic came loose, causing the pieces to get jammed every time going into park. 50$ repair for the plastic pieces to be replaced.
54000 mi
US $580
Problem with shifter assembly - bad solenoid. When I put the car in park sometimes was not registering that it was in Park and so would not shut off the car fully. Replaced the whole thing.
Shifting was sticky. Replaced bushings in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears.
8900 mi
New bushings had been installed in 2nd - 5th gears in February under warranty. Since then, 4th gear exhibits a vibration in the gearshift around 2000 rpm. During the most recent oil change, I complained, but was told this is normal.
7000 mi
This is 2nd time this repair has been attempted. 3rd and 4th, and 5th & 6th gear clutch packs and bushings are being replaced. Notchy shifting of manual trans. Vibration of shift lever in 4th gear. Whole transmision was replaced.
