SUBJECT:
1988 626/MX-6 Special Service Program --- SSP05
Mazda Motor Corporation has decided to conduct a special service program for the electronically-controlled automatic transaxle (hereinafter EC-AT) on
certain 1988 626/MX-6 models starting on January 15, 1988.
Some of the 1988 626/MX-6 models may have a failure on the drift on ball seat located on the forward and reverse clutch in EC-AT. This may result in
less effective driving performance. If this condition is left as it is, there is a possibility that the forward and reverse clutch may burn out.
Detailed procedures for this program are shown on attachment sheets I and II. The letter to be sent to the owners is attachment sheet III.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact your District Service Manager.
Your cooperation in carrying out this service program is greatly appreciated.
