I was wondering on my Mazda 2 if drive is suppose to lock in on the gear shift selector and not go into the lower gears without pushing the shift button, and is there a way to tighten the tension cable on the auto gear shift selector?
 
I agree, an automatic is supposed to only shift into N from Drive without the button.

Take it to the dealer.
 
Correct, only need to push the button to move from park to reverse. Moving between reverse all the way down to L doesn't require the button.
 
Does anyone have any info or pictures on how do adjust the gear selector tension cable on the gearbox end, gear stick is slack and drops out of drive.
