Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION LAGS DANGEROUSLY FROM A STOP AND HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONDS UPON ACCELERATION, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS, WHEN PASSING, AND ANYTIME PROMPT RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR IS NEEDED. ALSO EXPERIENCING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHAT I WOULD CALL A SLING-SHOT EFFECT, WHERE THE GEARS EITHER WIND OUT EXCESSIVELY AND SEEM TO CATCH UP WITH ITSELF AT NORMAL ACCELERATION OR A FEELING OF NOT DOWNSHIFTING NORMALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
