ost_uid1]Sounds more like a problem with the auto than a motor/elect
issue. Check the fluid level, but I would expect any mechanic
to be smart enough to check that. Could be a case that the
bands that control the gearing in the auto have become
loose. You should take it to an auto transmission place to
check.

ost_uid0]Thanx for the help guyz ..i ended up going to Mazda after all and they kept it for about 3 days and whenever i went they had it up in the back..My old man called the Director of Mazda down here and gave him a peice of his mind....after all we only own like 13 Mazda pick up a 323 and my hatch.We recently bought a Nissan 4wd and a Kia pannel van because of the poor service of Mazda....They called me that same day and when i went down they washed and polished my car and said that they changed the gas filter and gave it a tune up and that solved it,they want me to change the spark plug wires but they said it could wait till next time..[/color
