Consumer Description

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CUTS OUT WHILE ACCELERATING TO 2ND GEAR, ESPECIALLY AT FULL THROTTLE. IN THE MIDDLE OF 2ND GEAR, RPMS HANG AROUND 4000 AT FULL THROTTLE. LETTING OFF THROTTLE ALLOWS RPMS TO REACH 5700 AND VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 3RD. RPMS HANG AGAIN AT 4000 IN 3RD GEAR, AND ANY MANIPULATION OF THROTTLE (FULL, HALF, ETC.) DOES NOT RAISE RPMS. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE LIMITED TO APPROX 60 MPH.*AK
