Want this question answered?
where is the transmission shift solenoid located on a 2001 Mazda protege
A squeaky stick shift on a Mazda Protege likely needs greasing. It is recommended that you use a silicon grease for this.
I suspect your hold switch on the shift lever might be bad..or ahs a broken wire.
its inside the transmission by the oil pan
yes of coarse u dumbie
Trouble code P0768 means: Shift solenoid D electrical problem
02 protege5,2.0 inside the tranny ,they're 4 or 5.
Bent shift linkage or you are parking on a hill.
On the top of the transmission, with a harness headed to it, should be about 3 bolts to take off, then valve comes off... shift solenoids are in there
Don't tow it in park. You can remove linkage & shift to neutral from underneath or remove driveshaft by removing straps off of rear u joint.
purchase a replacement cable and install it. its not reccomended to repair a broken cable
My Mazda Protege LX did the same thing, especially when it was hot out. I eventually found out it was a loose wire behind my overdrive switch located in the shift column. The overdrive button pops right out with a tight grasp and a little tug. See if both wires are still connected to the switch.
