Consumer Description

THE 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 103000 MILES. LIKELY CAUSE WAS FAILURE OF AN OUTPUT SHAFT BEARING. SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE BEGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 90000 MILES, WHICH INCLUDED A VIBRATION IN THE SHIFTER HANDLE AND SLIGHT BUZZING NOISE. THE NOISE PROGRESSIVELY GOT LOUDER AND MORE FREQUENT UNTIL I HAD IT REPLACED AT 103000 MILES. HAD I NOT NOTICED THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE, THE BEARING MAY HAVE FAILED WHILE DRIVING, WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO LOCK UP. *TR
