Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN YOUR CURRENT INVESTIGATION OF THESE MODELS. AN ATF LINE EMBEDDED IN THE RADIATOR CRACKED, AND ATF FLUID WAS ALLOWED INTO THE COOLANT, AND COOLANT WAS FORCED INTO THE ATF. THE CARD STARTED SLIPPING IN GEAR, THEN IT STARTED SHUDDERING UNDER ACCELERATION, THEN IT STARTED REFUSING TO GO INTO GEAR. I GOT IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP, AND WHEN THEY OPENED IT UP, THE GUTS OF THE TRANSMISSION WERE RUSTED, AND THE CLUTCHES HAD DE-LAMINATED. THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS NEARLY PLUGGED UP WITH OILY TRANSMISSION RESIDUE. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT, AND THE RADIATOR AND ALL ASSOCIATED HOSES HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALL IN ALL, A $5500 FIX FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. *TR
