While driving vehicle about 35 mph when shifting the vehcle from 2 speed to 3 speed the transmission exploded without a reason, resulting in a fire. The vehicle was not hot at all, and the transmission had a hole on top. Service dealer said they had to wait a few days to find out where the problem was started.
