POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE OVERDRIVE IN VEHICLE, CHEWS UP THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO THE BEARINGS WORKING LOOSE. THIS WAS CAUSED BY A LACK OF LUBRICATION ON THE BEARINGS. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE NOT TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEARS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WILL BE TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER TO HAVE MECHANIC CHECK.

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
1. NOISE WHEN RELEASING THE CLUTCH BEGAN DURING A VACATION TRIP IN JUNE 1999, WITH APPROXIMATELY 15,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS THE NOISE HAS BECOME WORSE. THE PROBLEM IS BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE TRUCK. THEY SAID IT WAS A BEARING IN THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY FOR THE CLUTCH IS ONLY 1 YEAR THE DEALERSHIP IS FIXING IT FOR ME AT NO CHARGE. 2. THE ORIGINAL CAB ISOLATORS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE TRUCK MAKING A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHENEVER I TURNED A CORNER OR ENTERED/EXITED A DRIVEWAY. AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT THE CLUNKING STILL OCCURRED SO THE TRUCK WENT BACK IN THE SHOP WHERE THE DEALER "SHAVED" THE ISOLATORS. THAT DIDN'T HELP SO THE TRUCK WENT BACK A THIRD TIME AND ANOTHER SET OF CAB ISOLATORS WERE INSTALLED AND THE CLUNKING SOUND DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN. TO GET THIS REPAIR RIGHT REQUIRED 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A TOTAL OF 14 DAYS IN THE SHOP. 3. A LEAK OF TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS DETECTED DURING AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE ON A VACATION TR
