Yep, happened to me, too. The car suddenly drives horribly, lumpy idle, lacks power, and won't run smoothly at any RPM range. Local Mazda dealer told me the engine was a goner and would need to replace for $2600 - I told them they were making stuff up. They never could produce compression test results...
The ATF trick later, and the car was running like a new machine - look into it. Don't trust any dealers or their maintenance departments,
