the reverse idler gear runs off of first gear, on manual trannys, will not be discussed here. if only gets stuck in reverse then trans has internal problem, i do not rec. any one without tranny teardown exp. to attempt fixing problem. rec. having it diagnosed by a trained pro.
if it is a automatic trans then could possibly be problem in valve body rec. having trained pro. diagnose as well. on automatics make shure to check shift linkage adjustment prior to taking it to shop.
If your Mazda truck won't shift into reverse, it could be due to several issues such as low transmission fluid, a faulty shift cable, or a malfunctioning transmission solenoid. Additionally, if the clutch is worn out or there's an issue with the shifter mechanism, it can prevent the truck from engaging reverse. It's advisable to check the fluid level and condition first, and if that doesn't resolve the issue, consulting a professional mechanic for further diagnosis is recommended.
the reverse light switch.. aka backup light switch is located on the front of the transmission along the side screws into the transmission if standing in front of the car looking down at the transmission you can see it
Could be a frozen clutch pack. Time for a transmission rebuild.
What are 2006 Mazda 6 transmission problems.
will a 1997 Mazda 626 transmission or engine interchange with a 1999-2002 Mazda 626 transmission or engine
If your transmission is good then you usually have to pump the clutch a few times and go through all the gears back to reverse til it goes in. I usually go from 4th to reverse then 1st to reverse then 3rd to reverse etc...until it goes in. Hope that helps!
It's a standard thread not reverse threaded. Same with the automatics flex plate bolt and manual transmission's pressure plate bolts.
Mazda 626 does have reverse if its a 5 speed standard H shift then it is 6th gear.
You need a new transmission.
The engine also jumps when changing to Neutral and Drive. Should I have transmission fluid change? A/C was not on.
look into wiring plug on transmission (under area of transmission). I know this for a fact on manual transmission. auto transmission- i would check in service repair manual.
