HA--welcome man! Good call on the new truck--but those B-Series Mazda trucks were pretty damn tough and would run forever. I had one back in the day--a 1992 B2600i SE-5 RCSB 4WD with the 5-speed. It was unstoppable. I offroaded the CRAP out of it and went places even Jeeps couldn't go!
As for the 1-2 shift thing...I would go to a well know tranny shop in your area and find out what they think. They will hook up their equipment and read what it is doing--but don't have them do the work--just have them diagnose it. It could be a number of things--but I am not gunna waste your time trying to list things it might be...
But I will recommend that you spend $15 and get a Vette servo and $90 on a Trans-go HD2 shift kit. Both of them will help out the tranny performance and get some more life out if it. Another thing--get a custom tune and take some torque management out of it also!
