Consumer Description

STARTED FROM A RED LIGHT, CAR DROPPED IN GEAR AND JOLTED. TACH REVVED UP TO 3000+. FINALLY CAUGHT A GEAR AND SLOWLY MADE MY WAY OFF THE ROAD. PARKED AND WAITED FOR A FAMILY MEMBER TO COME TOW MY CAR. REVERSE AND 3RD GEAR DEFINITELY OUT. BY LOOKING AT THE OTHER THREADS, SEEMS TO BE THE OMINOUS 35R WAVEPLATE. NEED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION NOW. LUCKILY I CAN DO THE LABOR MYSELF AND SAVE SOME MONEY. I'M ASTOUNDED HOW ANY OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. HAVEN'T SEEN ANY INJURIES YET THOUGH SO I DOUBT THIS WILL BECOME PART OF THE NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF RECALLS GM IS SENDING OUT. *TR
