Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION IS A LITTLE SLUGGISH WHILE SHIFTING AND IN SOME CASES EVEN JUMPS WHILE SHIFTING INTO 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE A COWORKER WHO HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH HIS TRANSMISSION ON HIS TUNDRA, AND HE ENDED UP TRADING IT IN, BECAUSE IT COULD NOT BE FIXED. I HAVE THE PAPERWORK FROM GETTING IT CHECKED IF IT IS NEEDED
