| Description of the problem | Sometimes when i'm going to take off... As i would normally do... My shifter slams out of first gear... The first time i heard/felt it, i literally waited to hear something hit the pavement afterwards... After my heart slows back down and my body allows me to react i place it back in first and everything goes as normal... I'm not trying to speed off ridiculously... Just slow easy starts as usual and it freaks me out. The thing that really scares me is when my pregnant wife drives this car and has this problem. |
