To change the torque converter solenoid on a 2000 Mazda 626, first disconnect the battery and remove the transmission fluid pan to access the solenoid. Locate the solenoid, which is usually mounted on the valve body or the transmission casing, and disconnect the electrical connector and any mounting bolts. Replace the old solenoid with the new one, reassemble everything in reverse order, and refill the transmission fluid as needed. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the vehicle to ensure proper operation.
The torque converter clutch (TCC) is located within the front wheel drive (transverse) automatic transmission of this vehicle. Accessing the TCC for removal and re-installation will require internal work. A bad TCC can and will throw error codes simplifying diagnosis. Ê

It could be the torque converter or the relay that activates the lockup clutch. You'll have to find someone to trust who works on transmissions.
I have a Mazda protege 1996 that is parked because it will not go into drive but the engine starts?
unless your Mazda has a wet clutch , as motorcycles do, you don't have clutch oil
I was told that if your torque converter is empty it's about 8.5 quarts. If not empty about 5 quarts.
