| Description of the problem | With no prior warning, transmission failed on the vehicle. This has now happened twice, in november 2013 and december 2015. In both cases, vehicle lost all transmission of power to the drive train. In both cases, transmission fluid could be smelled when the hood is opened afterwards. Manual clutch continues to function perfectly, and guage shows proper rpms, but the vehicle will not move. In both cases, vehicle was moving in a straight line, once at freeway speeds of about 65 mph and once in a residential neighborhood at approximately 25 mph. Because of the sudden loss of power, especially on the freeway, the problem caused a sudden slowing which affected the traffic around me. |
