At Peruzzi Mazda, we’re breaking down how this essential part works, why maintenance matters, and how genuine Mazda parts help preserve the performance that defines your vehicle.

How Transmissions Work in MAZDA Vehicles

A transmission’s role is to channel engine power to your wheels in a controlled and efficient manner. In Mazda vehicles, the transmission adapts to changing speeds, manages torque, and enhances fuel efficiency to create that signature connected feel behind the wheel. If your transmission isn’t operating properly, every part of your drive can suffer.

Modern Mazda transmissions, especially those designed with SKYACTIV® technology, deliver seamless shifts and precise performance. Maintaining this system is crucial for long-term reliability.
