What? How?

Get a new one and if you are under warranty maybe you can get Mazda to cover it.

Welcome to the club..(breakling trannys club)... I think your best bet is trying to get a used one. I paid 950 for a used one, who knows you might find one cheaper.. Becouse New will be A lot of money. ....... unless you are still on warranty, you have a GREAT dealership to go to and a very good excuse to explain that it just broke and ofcouse MAYBE you have a chance of getting a replacement. If not we are back on plan A.... Get a used one.....

There are good rebuilds too out there with better syncros than the stock ones.

I'll ask the guy who was going to put in a new tranny in for me next time I see him. I forget the name of the company he said he would get it from.
