Consumer Description

VERY HARD, SHOCKING 2-1 (MAYBE 3-2?) DOWNSHIFT AFTER LONG DRIVE AS IN 2-3 HOURS OR UNDER HEAVY LOAD. SUCH A HARD BRUTAL SHIFT CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE HIT SOMETHING SOLID LIKE ANOTHER CAR. IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY JAR OCCUPANTS AND DISLODGE GLASSES OFF OF YOUR FACE. YOU IMMEDIATELY LOSE ABOUT 5 MPH. FEELS LIKE IT COULD CAUSE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO RECREATE THIS FAILURE AND IT IS SO SCARY THAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO DO IT AGAIN. *JS
