Oh yea i found my Trans leak. its coming from the nut/bolt with attached wire on the right side of the transmission (exhaust side).
Anyone know what the sensor is and where it goes to? its not in the FSM only thing close is the neutral switch but that is on the opposite side of the engine and is much higher than the nut im asking about.

Awesome Can I withdraw my membership?
Have you tried cleaning it and putting a coating of RTV around it? I think I'm going to give that a shot.
This leak is bad, an ounce a month at least and my whole car and garage smell of trans fluid. I Fukcing hate the smell of trans fluid.

Id prefer to just plug it with a bolt and a crush washer and solder in a switch to the wires.
Technically I should be able to flip the switch when going into reverse and bada bing problem solved.

If you require a new Reverse Switch, the new genuine Mazda replacement one is NOT the same switch used for the Neutral Switch, so in other words you still require 2 switches.
Where previously there was separate part and part numbers for the...( There still is separated Parts and Part Numbers)
Reverse Switch Y611-17-640A
Neutral Switch Y612-17-640B
Both Parts and Part Numbers supersede ( BUT are separate Parts, NOT THE SAME)
The revised Part Number and Updated switch is Part Number Y612-17-640B for Neutral Switch.
So if you need to the Reverse Switch the number and part is Y611-17-640A.
As of now Dec ,2012 All the information in my post #466 is 100% correct.
Sorry, but MNAO information to it's Part Dealer network in USA was wrong.

Yep, Right at the Top of Trans, many mechanics sometimes forget to reconnect the "neutral" switch when replacing clutch or trans.
Cruise Control will not work.
Can be accessed by removing the console for connection (if forgotten), not sure if switch can be replaced from there?

After 3 tries it starts can someone say bad rebuild? in any event my power steering has failed as well. I'm cleaning the connections as we speak.
The good: It idles on its own, nothing is leaking, it sounds beautiful past 2k.
The Bad: I have a misfire, a possible stuck ssv, and I think my homemade BHR replifail has failed lol.
