| Description of the problem | While driving on a city street in stop and go traffic, i noticed that the car was not shifting gears. The tachometer would rev high but the vehicle would not accelerate in accordance with the revolutions. Once traffic freed up from a stop and go 20 mile/hr the car would not shift gears and remained in limp mode. I brought the car to my mechanic who confirmed it was a transmission problem. The current quote to replace the 7 speed 722. 9 transmission is $2800 parts and labor. |
