It either flooded or is flooded due to low compresion. I would look at compression testing it.

Pretty sure it wont show compression if it is flooded

Edit: It also wont start due to lack of spark or gas getting to the engine.

The rust is normal, and it sounds like it needs shifter bushings. If that is all that is wrong, and it is only flooded, I'd be all over that deal.

Dude yeah, You definately need shifter bushings. My transmission did the same thing when i bought it. You can get all the stuff new from www.mazdatrix.com for less than $100.00.
