I've been having problems with my 2nd gear the last week or so and was wondering what the problem could be. When I shift into 2nd and let go of the shifter right away, it does not want to stay in 2nd. It pops into neutral. If I hold the shifter for a couple of seconds while accelerating it will stay. I've never had any trouble before.

 

There's a TSB for bent 2nd gear shift fork on early 2004 models.

Can someone point to it? I can't find it...

 

check Rosenthal Mazda's site for it - www.finishlineperformance.com

 

I'll try to look for it. I'm still under powertrain warranty so hopefully whatever it is it will be covered.

 

hmmm...looked at the website and can't seem to find anything on it.
