problem #5

  • Manual transmission

Upon starting the vehicle consumer was unable to shift gears to third. Also, vehicle failed to go into reverse. Excessive force had to be applied to clutch to get it to go into reverse. Then, vehicle stalled. When the tow truck arrived consumer was able to change gears with 2 fingers. Dealership was currently taking the transmission apart, but indicated that the failure may be due to a bad flywheel. Two tsbs, #6089740 and #6089792 were issued on this failure.
