THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED, ALTHOUGH THE DEALER TRIED. THE FIRST GEAR SLIPS WITH A LOUD NOISE AS SOON AS IT IS ENGAGED. THIS HAPPENS WITH OR WITHOUT THE CAR IN MOTION. SECOND GEAR IS USED INSTEAD. THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO REPAIR IT AND WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL, THEY HOWEVER, REPLACED THE CLUTCH AT THAT TIME. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE FIRST GEAR PROBLEM.*AK

TIRES
I BOUGHT A SET OF MICHELIN X-ONE TIRES IN JULY OF 1998. THEY HAD A MANUFACTURE DATE OF 1998 ON THEM. THREE WEEKS AGO ONE WENT FLAT SUDDENLY ON THE INTERSTATE. I CHANGED IT AND TOOK THE TIRE IN TO THE STORE THAT SOLD IT TO ME AND IT WAS REPLACED. THIS LAST WEEKEND I TOOK THE REMAINING TIRES OFF THE VEHICLE. THE SIDEWALL WAS PEELING OFF ONE (LIKE IT DID ON THE TIRE THAT WENT FLAT ON THE INTERSTATE) - THERE WAS A BUBBLE ON THE EXTERIOR SIDE WALL OF ANOTHER - AND THE LAST HAD A CRACKS AROUND THE TREAD AND SHOULDER JOINT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TIRE. (ACTUALLY, ALL 4 TIRES HAD THIS CRACK BETWEEN THE TREAD AND SIDEWALL ON BOTH SIDES.) THE CRACK WAS DEEP ENOUGH TO SHOW THE TIRE CARCASS SEVERAL PLACES. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 5/32 INCH TREAD ON THE TIRES. THERE IS + OR - 1/32 INCH DEPTH CLOSER TO THE SIDEWALLS. MOST OF THE TIRE PATCH HAD A DEPTH OF 6/32 INCH. THE TIRES WERE 205-65-R-15 SIZE AND WERE INSTALLED ON A 1992 TOYOTA CAMRY STATION WAGON.*AK (TIRESIZE: 205/65R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 205/65R15 )
