2005 Mazda3i automatic, 200k miles.
I'm having hard shifting going from 1st to 2nd gear.
Mechanic took a look and said drive it till it drops because rebuilding the tranny = $2500.
There's no easy fix. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2395637
so my car also has a Tiptronic.
if stopped, shift into Tiptronic mode and force 2nd gear.
when at 30mph, shift back to Drive.
there wont be any hard shifting because I'm never moving at 1st gear.
this will prolong the life of my transmission???
