IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN MY FIANCE OR I HAVE DRIVEN IT, NOW MY DAUGHTER (WHO JUST GOT HER LEARNER'S PERMIT) HAD IT HAPPEN TO HER. THE TRANNY SLIPS, IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNK WHEN TRYING TO GO IN REVERSE THEN THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN THEN TRY AGAIN! OTHER TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE CAR REVS UP AND WONT MOVE THEN SLIPS INTO GEAR AND THEN CLUNKS BACK IN GEAR AGAIN CAUSING THE CAR TO BUCK.

I AM SO FRIGHTENED TO HAVE MY KIDS DRIVE THE CAR ONLY FOR SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN AND THEM NOT KNOWING HOW TO HANDLE IT SCARES THE [XXX] OUT OF ME!!! THAT IS A LAWSUIT IN THE MAKING!!
