Jerking motion while cold- AT
Hello I am reposting this here since I mistakenly posted it in the Series 2 forum.
I have a 2004 automatic rx8 with 98k miles. Whenever it changes gears it makes a jerking motion (back and forth). It only happens when the engine is cold (before temperature needle gets to the middle) and going about 20-35mph. Once it warms up it doesn't do it anymore. I took it to the stealership yesterday and they said the transmission needs to be replaced and it would cost about $3500. Any suggestions??? Should I believe the dealership?? Thank you so much for any advice! |
My 2006 AT 90km does the same when cold, when I leave in morning in a rush, but Just always make sure the car is warmed up a bit before driving. I'm not a technician but IMO don't think you need a new transmission thats crazy unless its doing the same thing when warm.

Your trans is fine. When was the last time you had the trnasmission fluid flushed and replaced?
|
stealership is probably just trying to get you to spend money...maybe you should let it warm up before a drive?
|
I bought the car in November from this same Mazda stealership and I am assuming they flushed the transmission fluid since it looks pretty clean.
|
Which "mode" are you using, manual or auto shift?
|
Automatic
