#706704May 20, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAD TO REPLACE A SMALL PLASTIC GOVERNOR GEAR ON MY TRANSMISSION, WOULD ONLY GO TO DRIVE, NO OTHER GEAR, COST APPROX $400.00. THAT WAS 33,000 MILES AGO, NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH GETTING OUT OF PARK IN COLDER TEMPERATURES, & WHEN I PUT THE BRAKE ON TO TAKE IT OUT OF PARK, YOU CAN HEAR & FEEL IT CLICK IN THE SHIFTER. I HAVE TO WIGGLE IT AND MESS AROUND WITH IT SOMETIMES 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT COMES OUT OF PARK. AFTER IT WARMS UP IT WILL COME OUT OF PARK NORMAL. I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE, & THE MAN THERE SAID THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS, HE OWNED THE EXACT SAME CAR A FEW YEARS AGO & HIS DID THE SAME THING, BUT HE COULDN'T FIX IT. SO I AM LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE HE (A MECHANIC) KNEW EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF CAR I HAD WHEN I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM OVER THE PHONE BEFORE I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. *AK
