Mutemenot: Worst case scenario OP may need to replace the transmission...which is it 2000/2001 or 2002 to 2006. Your suggestion makes sense |

The Mechanic may have mistakenly drained sufficient transmission oil before realizing but kept it to himself. Check transmission oil level first. I hope he remembered to connect the transmission oil cooler lines if he had to remove them and also did not cause sufficient fluid loss at that place.

EngRichie: On point...I got into the business after so-called and well-renowned expert technicians repeatedly failed to connect transmission oil cooler lines and I grenaded three transmissions in tow, so I got into root cause analysis, I went over everything, and I then got my eureka moment Second reason why I got into this business is I couldn't quite get it why replacing a transmission should mess up with the transmission electronics, so I went into root cause analysis mode and found out negligent repair total disregard and disrespect for electrical wiring harnesses subjecting the same to stresses they were not designed for causing them to fail Needless to say, I got all the equipment and replaced the transmission at home the next time it failed and there is no going back for me since then I have done lots of in-depth R&R that are I have decided not to put up here....but I had to narrate this...technicians are not infallible, they make mistakes and the sooner we live with that fact and take that into cognizance in our dealings with them, the better for all concerned. God alone knows how many have suffered and paid for the mistakes of technicians...now owner is going to pick the tab...that you can point to this as a possible cause-and-effect makes me respect you the more! |

convenant15: Tell your mechanic to carefully inspect his job and see what he failed to reconnect after the job, or disturbed during the job. |

EngRichie: If fluid loss is the issue, he should not have reverse also; given that reverse always demands higher pressure. 1 Like |

Your headline is Mazda Mpv Does Not Select On Drive But Engage Well On Reverse When you say "select" are you referring to its not moving forward only? OR TO/AND OR what is happening on the instrument cluster? How about what is showing on the dashboard instrument cluster? Does the gear lever select all the possible positions? P R N D 1 2 No double selections? i.e., boxes around multiple gear positions such as P and R at the same time? Or N and D at the same time? Or D and 1 at the same time?

Thanks all for your suggestions, i topped the transmission oil, later it started working again. |

convenant15: What is the connection between engine oil change and transmission oil shortage? If not tampering, a vehicle goes in with no transmission problems but comes out with transmission trouble when there was no job order with respect to the transmission, my brother if I were in your shoes, I would begin to have second thoughts about my choice of technician 1 Like |

AutoElectNG:he said there was a leakage while fixing the radiator |
| Re: Mazda Mpv Does Not Select On Drive But Engage Well On Reverse by Kashif(m): 4:04pm On Jul 16, 2018 |
convenant15: So why didn't your mechanic check something as basic as atf before telling you he does not fix gears?   |
| Re: Mazda Mpv Does Not Select On Drive But Engage Well On Reverse by diportivo: 7:31pm On Jul 16, 2018 |
AutoElectNG: convenant15: oga rewire,calm down and read na.... OP already stated a job that can cause loss of ATF. |
| Re: Mazda Mpv Does Not Select On Drive But Engage Well On Reverse by AutoElectNG: 7:37pm On Jul 16, 2018 |
diportivo: My point is simple...since he knew some transmission oil had leaked...why didn't he try that first,why did he say that there is a gear problem needing to be solved, I was thinking either internal transmission faults or external wiring issues, the neutral safety switch is quite close to one of the radiator hoses, it is not water proof, so that was the path I was leading him to only to learn that it was a case of fluid loss, wasn't he aware of it in the first place, why the alarm and scare except he was being mischievous or at his wits end, which puts a question mark on his competence |

Kashif: the boss, na xo oh..... immediately I saw the thread, I already knew how I'd go about troubleshooting this kinda issue. radiator was changed, engine oil was also changed.... I'd have started there immediately to check gear fluid level..... u see, these kazeems don't know the difference between gear fluid and engine oil.... I'm sure it wasn't just a mistake, it was a deliberate mistake..... maybe the boy that was sent to drain oil... immediately he saw oil from the oil cooler line after radiator was removed and decided to drain the remaining oil. probably the oga got to know after but refused to take the blame, hence the tranny change option. If I narrate my experience at naze mechanic village, where a Kazeem messed up an 08 Camry and the owner was later forced to sell the car to this same kazeem ehn, u go just weep for the nation. PS this also happens in the medical world 2 Likes |
