Re: 2007 Mazda 6 Transmission issue shifting from 3-4

Good friend or good deal I'd walk away. The problem probably requires a tranny replacement, ( mileage on an 8 year old car). If you're getting an excessive 3-4 shift shock when driving on an uphill road or with some load applied. Due to uneven wear on the servo piston bore , oil leakage from the bore occurs. This in turn causes a mistimed engagement of the 2/4 band , resulting in the 3-4 shift shock. To correct the problem, the servo piston has to be replaced with an updated piston and possible sleeve of correct hardness. This along with the cars mileage would require an overhaul.
