Alright, I just bought a 2000 Mazda 626 es-V6 in January of 08. During really cold winter days the was a very rough shift between the gears and was pretty jerky at times. Just today I was driving and it didn't shift into the last gear. I was going 45 mph and the car was at 4,000 rpm's. When I drive up hills the car doesnt move any faster until I give it enough gas to make the rpm's go from about 2 to 4.5 thousand. I know this is probably a dumb question but I dont know a lot about cars. Is my transmission going or probably already gone in my car?
