2006 Mazda3 Transmission went out, and now Engine. My story

[choppedupcoconut]

My car currently has approx 82k miles on it
I bought it used 2 years ago with 40k miles.
Around 65k-70k my transmission goes out along with the motor mounts. I had purchased an extended warranty so that was covered.
around 65k my radiator goes out, still covered.
82k motor mounts broken again(known problems with mazdas)
AND GET READY!!! 82k Cylinder 4 is not firing, has water in it. Engine: GONE! Now needs engine replaced.
I'm done, I don't want to put more money into this damn car but at the same time I do not want to get financed for another car. Im 9 months from paying it off and was so ready to use that money towards getting my own place. I guess once I put a new engine in its going to be a pretty much brand new car. Just dont have a few grand laying around anywhere
Sorry for the rant, just wanted to share my story

I got all the routine oil changes and such. I really tried with this car. But I will suffice! I know people going through much more problems

Btw my warranty expired after the 70k mark

Sorry to hear this man....

Why is cylinder 4 not firing? How did you find this out? Could it be something simple like plugs? coil pack?

[TheMAN]

probably blown head gasket from a previous overheat (bad radiator, remember?)

Contact yarnbah, if he hasnt sold yet he has a 2.0 and manual trans hes selling if it works for yu.
Deffinately cheaper then a new one from anyone else

Spend the extra couple bucks and buy a imported mazda engine. less restrictions on them = more power. Or go to a scrap yard and search for gold to save a few bucks.
