Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION OR TRANSFER CASE SEEMS TO BE DROPPING OUT OF GEAR. REGARDLESS OF SPEED IT WILL DROP OUT THEN BACK IN GEAR. SOMETIMES WHEN BACKING UP AND THEN PUTTING VEHICLE IN DRIVE IT SITS THERE FOR ALMOST ONE MIN. UNTIL IT KICKS IN. BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. WHEM I BOUGHT THIS IN AUG OF 2000 TRANSFER CASE WAS EMPTY OF FLUID AND DID NOT FIND OUT FOR TWO WEEKS. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO CHECK IT OR CHANGE IT. ALREADY HAD A NEW ENGINE IN THIS IN THE FIRST THREE WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP.*AK
