Exactly. Now imagine that going on at a place where Ferrari's, Porsche's, and such are a dime a dozen.

Thats why you tip the dude $10 before you even give him the keys and tell him to keep it close.

Evening gentlemen & lady,
The notorious 2004 automatic problems persist:
As of today I've had a tranny overhaul, New Valve body, L/S kit ,Torque converter, Stator, & Steel plates. All the recalls have been covered says North Park Mazda, & no TSBs seem to describe this problem. Yes I'm still searching.
Slams real hard into Reverse & randomly shifts into second gear from any other gears.
The PCM flash is not sticking. I'm not sure if I need to check the wires for the serial bus but the only other thing I can think of is to buy a new PCM or have it sent off to get flashed.
I read I'm able to take my 8 in to the dealership to get it reflashed for free.
Doesn't look like I'll make Biff's tonight or C&C tomorrow.
*sad panda*

I'll run through the Troubleshooting guide the auto transmission portion is like 500 pages long so I am sure there is something in there. I need a break from packing anyways so I'll run through that real quick.
