| Description of the problem | 6 speed transmission forks are poorly designed. Vehicle can pop out of 1st gear starting at under 15k miles. Can lead to vehicle rolling away when parked in gear as well as rolling back when starting on hills. My vehicle had the problem already at about 90k when i bought it. No idea how long it has been a problem in this vehicle. Many reports indicate the problem can occur in this particular transmission at as early as 15k due to design. I am an ase certified mechanic, and while it is nice to be paid to replace these parts regularly, it can be a dangerous condition and needs to be investigated. |
