I’m very seriously considering a 2012 Mazda5 with 143k miles. It is amazingly rust free and everything seems functional aside from one broken door handle and the radio antenna. It runs and drives fine but while I was driving it I thought I detected just the tinies bit of transmission shudder. I can’t be 100% certain because my first thought was that it was just steering wheel shake from a patch of rough pavement. It happened just driving at steady speed, not while accelerating or braking. The transmission fluid looks fairly dark so I’m assuming it needs to be changed asap.
Is this something to be concerned about or no big deal? I know almost nothing about automatic transmissions.
