hi
today i purchased a 95 mazda mpv v6 with 109k miles. i test drove it,
went over everything including checking the trans fluid (which smelled
fine and was the correct color) and all was well. i was impressed! with
all the excitement, the one thing i didnt check was the reverse... i
didnt have a situation where i needed to go into reverse during the
test drive. when i got the car home, i had to use reverse and this was
when i made the discovery. every other gear works perfectly. after a
few tries, it went into reverse but first it made a growling or high
pitched whining sound... then it engaged into reverse. any ideas on
what the problem is? could it be an adjustment needed to be made in
there somewhere?
any help will be greatly appreciated.
dude

hadn't mentioned if it was a auto trani or manual - If it were a manual
trans then I'd say sounds like it's either a worn out clutch disk or perhaps
internal issues! If it were an auto trani I'd take it back and demand my
money back!!

FOLLOW UP- the vehicle goes into reverse while still cold but when it
reaches operating temp, it wont reverse. anymore ideas?

OK folks, we're getting closer to knowing whether it's a stick or
automatic. I'm thinking it must be an automatic from this FOLLOW-UP. My
statement stands. You been hosed, Dude. The fluid thins out. The
pressure goes down. I suppose that it's possible that the dealer never
warmed it up enough to find this defect. Regardless, you drove out of
there with a bad transmission. You better go right back there, in a
forward gear, and get some satisfaction.
