I'm pretty sure it is, because i am experiencing the 100% exact problem. Read More...

Hi brayofsunshine1@yahoo.com. I recently bought a 2001 Mazda Tribute with a 145,000mi that acts up only when it's cold, and then after about 5 to 10 mins the vehicle runs perfectly fine. I've read similar stories of people claiming to have a loping idle on cold starts, and like most owners, I've replaced, sparks plugs, air filter, and used injector cleaners with ... Read More...

Ok, the transmission end of the cable has a plastic press fit part that wears out allowing it to slip off of the shift arm receiver .
