The overdrive problem on a 1995 Mazda Protege is due to a failing spring in the end housing inside the transmission. If you replace the spring with a new or used factory spring the problem will re occur. You must use a revised version to permanently fix this problem. I have seen salvage yards advertise this overdrive unit. What a scam. Even the brand new factory unit will fail, so obviously a used one will also fail. You must contact a transmission shop, they will probably have seen many of these in their shop and will have the part number of a revised unit.
If the overdrive switch is turned off then the car will not go into overdrive. As it is not in overdrive, then it will not downshift out of overdrive as it normally would. It also will not shift to 3rd gear above a certain factory preset speed. Turn th overdrive on and see if it operates normally.
A bad battery terminal(s) connection, bad ground, bad ignition switch, bad starter.
Which one of the sensors cause the car to putt putt once the car has gotten hot on a 1995 Mazda Protege?
Cost for me was 120, but that is the high end. One thing to be sure of is to take it to a Mazda garage. Mazda protege's have been known to hate non-mazda belts and cause high pitched squealing after replacement.
an air leak in your intake will cause the engine to rattle. Protege's intake hoses are prone to cracking.
A 95 Mazda Protege will shut off during acceleration if the air and fuel mixture is drastically incorrect. A vacuum leak or fuel flow restrictions can both cause this problem.
The break pad.
Check for a loose power steering belt.

I have a Mazda protege 1996 that is parked because it will not go into drive but the engine starts?
Hi Man Check the ignition coils. I just had to change mine. And the car working fine again Mazda Owner
Check the wheel bearings and the front brakes for wear. These are the most common places that cause the roar.
