I don't know you tell me?
Commonly, the OD blinking and subsequent CEL are due to the tranny overheating. Most common on the 4 cylinder (AT) models. OD light blinking implies the tranny is overheating. the CEL appears when the tranny is significantly overheating. Frequent fluid changes and an auxillary tranny cooler can help extend the life. It appears that the transmission on the 4 cylinder is simply undersized.
I would imagine that the tranny was not inserted correctly. In order to do this, you must use the poker.
Sorry guys but from experance with 2.0 DOHC 16 valve that blinking hold light means your transmission is about to stop working with mine it started blinking and with in a half an hour of driven the tranny breaks and you loose all gears and the only way to fix is a new transmission or to have it completely rebuilt and a new one from Mazda is about $2100
It needs the 4L80E transmission put back in it so the computer can do what it is supposed to do and the wiring harness will hook up to the transmission correctly.
the transmission filter is in the tranny. you have to drop the tranny pan to get to it.
tranny problems
On a standard tranny there is no reservoir. On an automatic tranny it is internal to the tranny. The fluid resides in the transmission pan.

yes the rb25 tranny is a rwd tranny
The Bands in the transmission are slipping/ the tranny is bad.
The automatic transmission has a vent tube. If the transmission is overfilled or gets water in it , the transmission may appear to be leaking tranny fluid after the transmission has warmed up from driving because the tranny fluid expands.
It's short for "transmission"
