Transmission problem
1998 Mazda 626 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I recently replaced the transmission in my 1998 Mazda 626. When in "D", the transmission would shift from 1 to 2 with no problem but slipped when trying to shift to 3rd and the OD light would flash. After replacing the transmission, I thought the problem would be fixed but it still has the same malfunction. Is it possible that there's another problem with the car besides the transmission?.....Any help/suggestions are truly appreciated.

Sounds like it may be a computer related issue. Might want to have the PCM scanned for codes to see if it has stored any thing related to the trans.Does the speedo work properly?
