Advice re extended warranties

[GreenDiesel]

My wife & I bought a used Mazda3 five years ago, and bought the extended warranty for it for 6 years or 160K. This car now has about 124K on it and is running fine. There is, however, one minor concern with its automatic transmission. Sometimes when I slow down in traffic, i.e. from say 80 km/h to 50-60 km/h, there is a very minor clunk or jerk in the transmission. It's practically unnoticeable except I notice it b/c I drive this car so much. Still, I could be imagining this. (I'm getting my mechanic to check it out next week).

We have 2 Mazda3's and are totally pleased with them. Very reliable and anything that has gone wrong has been minor (there are a couple things with their design we don't like, but I won't go into that here!).

This warranty expires soon. I just found out that -- if the warranty has not been used -- you can get a full refund. This seems hard to believe and I was wondering if anyone on this forum had any suggestions or advice re getting this refund. Or maybe it's very simple and just a matter of applying for it?

Happy to provide more details if necessary.
Thanks in advance.

Have you changed the tranny fluid? I had studdering, and shaking at certain times along with some herky jerky shifting last November. I had the dealership change the fluid and it resolved those issues. Have not had a problem since in the shifting. It has been smooth ever since.

Thanks... Yes, it was changed last December.

Was The tranny drained and refilled or was it completely flushed, big difference, if it was drained and refilled they only got a percentage of the old fluid.

Perhaps clean the throttlebody.
