6MT Transmission broke again. This time it was the secondary shaft. Dealer has been great and Mazda has covered all but $300 of repair , but the car has been in the shop for three weeks and having a transmission literally break twice in less than 12 months is disappointing to say the least. It may be time to trade this in for a different brand.

Gearbox plastic came loose, causing the pieces to get jammed every time going into park. 50$ repair for the plastic pieces to be 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.
