Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR. TRANSMISSION DOWNSIHFTS HARD TO 1ST GEAR AT TIMES. PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME. AT FIRST JUST A LITTLE BUMP FEELING BUT AFTER ABOUT 40,000 MILES GOT WORSE AND NOW AT 150,000 CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE. PROBLEM OCCURS ALMOST ALL THE TIME, 95% OR MORE OF THE SHIFTS. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICED WITH FILTER AND FLUID CHANGE EVERY 30, 000 MILES BUT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT GO AWAY. WILL TRY A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH BUT MAY HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IF THAT DOES NOT CLEAR UP THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT CURRENTLY IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
