Consumer Description

3RD GEAR FAILURE IN TRANSMISSION. GEAR BLEW OUT THE BOTTOM AND TOP CASING OF THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED THE ENTIRE THING. HAD TO HAVE IT COMPLETELY REBUILT (ALMOST $3000). THIS WAS DETERMINED TO BE A MECHANICAL FAILURE. PRIOR TO THIS, I NOTICED THE 3RD GEAR WAS STICKING/FAILING TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED AND FLUSHED. THIS ONLY APPEARED TO HAVE MASKED THE ISSUE. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AND THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED TO 0. THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE, HAD TO BE TOWED (ADDITIONAL $100) AND THE REPAIR HAD TO BE MADE. FOR ANYONE WITH 3RD GEAR ISSUES - PLEASE HAVE THIS CHECKED ASAP AND PREVENT YOURSELF THE EXTREME EXPENSE I HAD! IT APPEARS AS IF, AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE... *TR
