The 2000 Mazda Protege requires Dexron ViATF Transmission Fluid with a capacity of 7.6 quarts. This fluid acts as a lubricant similar to oil, ensuring that the transmission components are protected from heat damage. The cost of a transmission fluid change for your Protege ranges from $120 to $150 for labor, with parts priced at $130. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. Signs indicating the need for a fluid change include a grinding noise from the transmission, difficulty shifting gears, slippage during gear changes, sudden surges, and a delay in movement after shifting into gear.
