Skyactiv Transmission/Downshift Issues?
I’m absolutely thrilled right now. My 2017 Mazda6 GT picked up some minor shifting issues around the 95k mileage mark, so had a trans fluid drain and fill performed which didn’t solve the minor downshifting issues.
I was going to take it in to a local independent trans shop (likely looking at a $400+ diagnostic) and then ran across this video. Literally 60 seconds of resetting the gear ratios from the driver’s seat, my car was running like a top.
Based of the video comments it sounds like this is a common issue so I wanted to share in case it helps anyone down the road! I almost just let it ride with the issues and I’m sure others felt the same way, but so glad I ran across this with how incredibly easy this fix was. Proven fix for this cx-5 and my mazda6 so I want to say this corrects several Skyactiv engine models.
