Hey there. I own a 1996 2.0L SE automatic. I was driving home the other day and hit a red light. I tried to accelerate once the light turned green, but the car didn't go anywhere. The RPMs went up and I tried putting it in park and reverse to see if it'd do anything and it didn't. So I threw it back into drive and nearly redlined it till it lunged forward and I was able to drive it home.

Back home, I parked it for a bit and tried to drive it later. I got the same results and in neutral, my dad and I both tried to push it but the car seemed as though it was in park. I talked to a couple guys who "know cars" and they couldn't diagnose it and I can't get it to a mechanic for obvious reasons. What do you think?

Pull the dipstick for the transmission. Check the fluid level you could have leaked out the fluid. Smell the fluid on the dipstick if it has a burnt odor to it the clutches are shot needs a rebuild. Check all plugs are plugged in to the transmission.
I would check one of the import places for a mazda transmision. They normally have 35 or 45 thousand miles on them and have a warranty. I had an immigrant come in who went to a quick lube place and they left out a plug when they serviced it. I told him to go back and complain. He said no fix it and this what I did. Only had to change one mount but it fit perfectly.
