Called Mazda Customer Experience Center on Monday Jan 7, as suggested by others, and stated the case based upon low miles, TSB, and recently expired extended warranty. Was told to wait a couple of days for reply. After a couple of days and no response, called Customer Experience Center again and was told dealer needed to supply information and wait another couple of days. No reply again, so another call to Customer Experience Center, and was told dealer provided required diagnostic information, and the case was being reviewed at higher levels to get best possible outcome, and give it another few days. Finally on Jan 16, received call from Customer Experience Center that "Mazda will be covering majority of the repair leaving me with $1000.00+tax. Please be advised this is not being covered under warranty and this is purely goodwill." Dealer also called me within an hour to schedule service. After a week for new trany to arrive from Texas, car went in last Thursday 1/24, and was finished today 1/29. Though not happy having to fork out a Grand for a Mazda design flaw, contacting Customer Experience Center was a good move; thanks to all for the advice.
