Mazda CX-7 automatic transmission reverse failure recurring after fluid and filter change on Mazda CX-7

Some Mazda CX-7 owners report experiencing recurring reverse failure in their automatic transmission, even after a fluid and filter change. This issue may be attributed to a faulty transmission solenoid that prevents the reverse gear from engaging properly. Additionally, some owners find that a worn-out clutch contributes to difficulties in shifting into reverse. Problems with the transmission pump can also impact the smooth engagement of reverse gear. Furthermore, a malfunctioning shift lock solenoid may interfere with the ability to shift out of park, affecting reverse gear engagement. Insufficient hydraulic pressure fluid has been noted as a potential cause of difficulties in shifting into reverse, while some owners experience slipping and leaks after a transmission fluid change, which can further compromise transmission performance. If these issues persist, it is advisable for owners to consult a qualified mechanic or transmission specialist for a thorough diagnosis and necessary repairs.
