For a Mazda 6, a full automatic transmission replacement in Australia typically lands between about AUD $6,000–$10,000+ for a brand-new genuine unit, fitted.
A quality reconditioned/rebuilt transmission usually comes in around AUD $3,500–$6,500 drive-in/drive-out, while a used wrecker unit might be AUD $1,500–$3,000 plus roughly AUD $800–$1,800 in labour and incidentals.
Budget extra for fluid, filters, a flush, and possibly a torque converter or TCM—call it a few hundred to over a grand depending on what gremlins pop up.
If your symptoms are mild, a service and software update can sometimes calm things down for AUD $300–$600, which is a far nicer bill than a full swap.
Get multiple quotes from transmission specialists (ServiceCentral is handy), confirm warranty terms in writing, and make sure the cooler is clean so you’re not funding a sequel.
