3rd Gear is dying HELP!
Agh! My G/F Mazda Protege tranny is dying.
It keeps kicking out of 3rd gear (it's really freaky when it does that)
It's happening more frequent now and I'm getting worried, obviously somethings wrong but anyone know what it might be.
It keeps grinding the gear after it pops out so I imagine that the gear will have to be replaced.
The car isn't even a year old this this will still fall under warranty?
Man I told her to get a Honda...

hey ed,
if you hear grinding, then that third gear maybe missing some teeth... due to wear and tear..or just plain bad shifting.... you should fix it for your gf asap...
tell her not to rev to high, no downshifting either... cuz the car could lock up and lose control... very dangerous... get it fix now!

It's not a P5 it's just the reg Protege with the sports package.
That make a diff?
