2004 Mazda 6 AT light = hard clunk putting it into gear

The clunking noise you're hearing from the rear of your 2006 Mazda 6 after installing new shocks could be caused by a few different issues. Here are a few possibilities:

1. Loose or worn suspension components: If any of the suspension components are loose or worn, they can make a clunking noise when the vehicle moves over bumps or uneven surfaces.
2. Misaligned or damaged control arm bushings: The control arm bushings can become misaligned or damaged, which can cause a clunking noise when the vehicle is driven.
3. Worn sway bar links: The sway bar links connect the sway bar to the suspension and if they are worn, they can cause a clunking noise when the vehicle is driven.
4. Improper installation of the new shocks: The clunking noise may be caused by improper installation of the new shocks, such as not tightening the bolts properly.

It's best to have a professional mechanic take a look and diagnose the issue. They will be able to identify the specific cause of the noise and make the necessary repairs.

Sounds like a bad cv joint. Easy way to check is to raise the front of the vehicle so both front tires are off the ground. Use jack stands under the vehicle and block the rear tires. Start the engine and put the tranny in drive. Let the front wheels rotate while the engine is idling and turn the steering wheel slowly in both directions. Listen for the clunking noise. You may have to speed the engine up a little to make it work.

Could be your clutch or the cable from the shifter has a plastic piece that is easily broken that wont allow proper gear placement

Check you tranny fluid make sure its full.Also check if its not leaking into the gears making them to slip while changing gears. Also as the transmission job is done.Make sure the transmission is aligned properly. If you feel a strong **** or clunk while shifting, the car may have a transmission problem. Every gear should shift smoothly and easily without any noises or jerks. If still the same problem then its the transmission problem it has to be replaced.There are many many other users facing the same exact problem in Mazda -6 cars.That mazda is having transmission problems, they had it on the 6 and they now have a new program to upgrade the car software to fix the shifting problem .Ask you car Mazda dealer about the updated program for this transmission shifting problem. Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

this is caused by a defective front drive axle part called a CV Joint, have it put on a rack and checked, most likely the rubber grease boot around the sealed joint is torn and the joint is running dry on grease, this causes it to "Click"

you will need the transmission repaired, this is a common problem, sorry that it happened to you after your warranty. they may still fix it under warrenty as this is a major problem, with this trans.
if you are not to far over warranty they may play with numbers to get you covered.
sometimes!
other wise it is about $2300+ repair.

what has this got to do with the battery light coming on

COULD BE THE REVERSE LIGHT SWITCH INSIDE THE SHIFTER. GOOD LUCK. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA.

have your transmission filter change this is actaully a easy task if you know the basics all you have to do is remove the bottom pan from the trany the filter pops in and out just make sure you get the right trany fluid and put the right amount back in if you go to the parts place they can tell you exactly what kind of fluid to use also dont forget your gasket it will cost you about 30 to 60 dollars to fix it according to your location
