Consumer Description

THIS IS TWICE THE FIRST GEAR HAS GONE OUT, BOTH TIMES AFTER A RADIATOR FLUSH, I WAS INFORMED BY A REFERRAL FROM A DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT THE RADIATORS ARE GETTING CLOGGED AND CAUSING THE TRANMISSION TO OVER HEAT AND BY THE TIME THE PROBLEM IS FIGURED OUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN NEEDED AS WELL AS A NEW RADIATOR, APPROXIMATE COST TO THE CONSUMER, IN THE RANGE OF $3500.00. THE RECALL FOR THE CLAMPS THAT WERE CHANGED ON THE COOLANT LINES TO PREVENT THEM FROM MELTING WAS A GOOD IDEA BUT THEY FORGOT ONE THING, A BLOW OUT VALVE FOR THE TRANMISSION SO WHEN IT GETS HOT IT CAN RELEIVE PRESSURE AND HEAT BEFORE IT BURNS THE TRANSMISSION.
