  Summary

As a result, lubrication flow within the transmission may be compromised, and the transmission will wear prematurely.

If the customer continues to drive the vehicle for an extended period after noticing these signs of wear, transmission failure may occur, resulting in a loss of propulsion. Replace Transmission.
