Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH ON DRY ROADS/GOOD VISIBILITY/GOOD WEATHER IN 6TH GEAR WHEN WITHOUT WARNING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR AND FINALLY ENDED IN 1ST GEAR - DURING THIS TIME THE ENGINE RPMS EXCEEDED 6000 RPMS - I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE ENGINE RPM. NEEDLESS TO SAY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURRED WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I THEN SHIFTED FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE AND ALL WAS WELL. LAST SUNDAY AFTER CHURCH THE TRANSMISSION WOULD AT FIRST NOT SHIFT FROM 1ST AND THEN WENT TO 5TH GEAR AND REMAINED IN 5TH GEAR TILL I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES THIS FAR.ALWAYS WHEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE COLD!!! *TR
