We have 1999 Mazda 626 with 77K mile on it. The automatic transmission shift cable comes loose where cable attaches to transmission. End of cable has a rubber bushing that slide onto the transmission shift lever is deteriated and will not say attached. Transmission remains in gear; engine must be shut off. Once engine is shut off, it can't be restarted until shift cable is reattached. Cable comes off when shifter is moved repeating cycle. Bushing can not be replaced, entire cable must be replaced. Madza service department quotes $655 plus taxes to make repairs. There is a design flaw. Surely other Mazda 626 owners are experencing the same problem?
