Angry Hold light is flashing

I am desperate to get any help on a problem i got. I got a 1998 millenia S and the hold light on it flashes as i drive. Also the gears change very harsh when both the hold button and the gears change. If anyone is able to direct me I would truly appreciate it.

I only got this problem after I took my car to a mechanic who returned the car to me with this problem. I complained to him, but he claims that it is not his fault. Anyhow If anyone needs help I know a bit about millenia's just this one problem baffles me though

hold light

you are screwed. that is a problem that mazda has had for YEARS!!! once that happens you will have rough shifting and then it will start slipping until your tranny is toast. i had a 97 millenia until my friend totalled it in january, same problem, if you know a mechanic that you can really trust they should be able to take care of it. my mechanic said it was something in the tranny computer that had to be by passed, you will lose the "hold" feature but who cares. my friend had an mpv, same problem, toasted tranny twice, my best friend had a 626, after three trannys he gave up and bought a nissan. Good Luck
