Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Condition Inspection: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- One way of determining whether the transaxle should be disassembled is by noting:
- If the ATF is muddy or varnished.
- If the ATF smells strange or unusual.
