What is the lifespan of the Mazda 6AT transmission?

[JudahFitz]

Generally, traditional automatic transmissions require replacement approximately every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Transmission fluid replacement: Unlike manual transmission fluid, automatic transmission fluid serves two purposes—lubrication and gear shifting. Prolonged failure to replace the fluid can result in poor lubrication, severe component wear, and a shortened transmission lifespan. It may also lead to strong jerking sensations during gear shifts. Therefore, regular transmission fluid replacement is essential, and the transmission filter should also be replaced simultaneously. 2. Replacement methods: There are two methods—gravity replacement and machine flushing replacement. Machine flushing replacement is recommended as it helps clean the transmission, whereas gravity replacement only replaces the fluid without providing a cleaning effect.
