What kind of engine does a Mazda Tribute have?
With rugged good looks, a stout V6 engine, plenty of room for four adults and their luggage, and a sport-tuned suspension that works beautifully on pavement, the Mazda Tribute might be the ultimate small SUV.
Is the Mazda Tribute DX still in production?
After an extremely successful introductory year, Mazda’s Tribute SUV receives only minor modifications for 2002. DX models get additional standard equipment in the form of alloy wheels, dark-tinted glass and remote keyless entry. After a short production run, however, the DX-V6 model will be discontinued.
Problem areas: front suspension work needed at 45,000 and new front axles due to rusted tone rings (part of ABS system) at 55,000. The torque converter stutters occasionally when downshifting, but otherwise the engine/drive train work seamlessly and after 8 years it still drives like new.

Why is my Mazda Tribute leaking transmission fluid?
The transmission fluid leaks bad since I had the cv axles changed. The seal started leaking and I asked for it to be fixed and the mechanic said I needed to take it to a transmission mechanic after he said he changed the seal and it would not seal right. This happened after he had changed the CV axles.
