Hi all, I have a 2015 Mazda3 i Sport (2.0L AT) and been experiencing a transmission issue recently.
The problem is that, on cold start, after the car shifts into second gear, there are exactly two jerks during acceleration. Note this is not jerky gear shifts, but accelerating normally in second gear, and the jerks happen exactly twice. The car has to be completely cold (parked for the whole night, for example) for this to happen. The problem will be completely gone if the car is warmed up. The car is at 72k miles, and I have done a transmission fluid drain and fill at 60k using OEM fluid. Then transmission filter was not changed then.
My questions is, is any one of you experiencing similar issues? Do you think this is something a fluid flush will help?
Appreciate your help!
