Alternator overcharging AT stuck in 3rd gear need help

2000 Mazda Protege LX 1.8
I replaced the alternator in my 2000 Protege with a brand new alternator, the battery light comes on while driving and the car is stuck in 3rd gear. At an idle the light goes out, I unhooked the alternator and drove the car on just the battery and had all 4 gears again. The only thing I can guess is the alternator is overcharging and Confusing the computer and gear box, has anyone had this problem and how could it be fixed?


Thanks
 
For anybody having this problem, I found the solution...You have to buy a Mazda alternator, after market alternators the Regulator isn't right so either buy from a dealership or from a Salvage yard
 
Rock Auto has:
TYC Part # 213719 {#213718, FP3418300R00, Z59918300} One of our most popular parts
w/ OE Manufacturer Mitsubishi; Amps: 80A; Pulley Type: w/ 4 Groove Pulley

for $109

I'd guess that it would work.
