Hold Light Flashing

Picked up my 1996 diesel from service & MOT and it drove home like a dream. Took it out again later in the evening and the hold light started continually flashing as soon as it was in drive. Speedo and rev counter are still working fine but the gear changes are now jerky, especially 1-2 and 2-1. it's still moving up and down through the gears as usual . Any ideas please? Thanks

Read the error code from the diagnostics, that's what the flashing hold light means. The code will suggest likely faults. The error codes have varied over the years but a 1996 will probably be covered by http://www.philmcfadden.co.uk/MazdaDiagnosticBox.htm
