car runs ok. But at a rare time it might lurch or disengage the drive for a moment when starting out (it has only done this about 6 times in the past year). And now it fails to shift into overdrive. Fluid level is good and clean. No dash alarms are illuminating. Please tell me your opinion and also if I can use my auto code tester to help zero in on the problem. Thanks Lar
ps; one fellow informed me that this is a Mazda transmission
