Hi guys, names Chris.
So I have owned my car for about 22 years. 7 years ago while in N.C my brother drive my car into a Flooded road. From what I understand the 13B was totally under. I have just had Mazda rebuild the engine a couple months before he did that. Anyways, I got the engine running the same day and did multiple oil changes grrrr. When I was on my way back to pa the trans stopped pushing about 100 miles in. It's an automatic. I checked the fluid back then and it was up to the correct level. I had it towed to the nearest garage in God where am I land. Thought before I tried to figure out a way to go the rest of the miles I'd try her again. I started it up, put her in drive and felt the gear catch. I drive back to I-95 and continued another 10 or so miles and it happened again. Had it towed to a trans shop near where I live. I found a trans and had it shipped there and installed. Here's the thing. It does the same exact same thing with the installed trans. I also changed out the ecu thinking water got to it. So, it's not the trans. No wierd noise coming from it either when it happens. Just the sound of the engine rev. It there a sensor on the engine that detects rpm the the ecu uses to tell the trans when to shift? Or does anyone on here with a wealth of knowledge that might be able to give me some ideas? I want so badly to get her back on the road. Just bought new caplipers and rotors. Did all the wheel bearing last week. Bought a new radiator because the old leaks and I was also thinking mabye the trans cooling lines might be clogged. I don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris
