The 2013 Mazda's speed sensor can be found on the transmission output shaft. This sensor communicates with the car's CPU, informing it of how many times the shaft rotates, indicating the vehicle's speed. This allows the transmission to shift gears as needed. If the sensor malfunctions, the transmission may delay shifting, shift harshly, or fail to shift altogether. A replacement speed sensor typically costs between $20 and $40, making it an affordable fix. However, neglecting this issue could ultimately damage the transmission, so it's important to address it promptly.
In the 2013 Mazda 3, you can locate the speed sensor by looking on the right side of the transmission, close to the output shaft.
