Description of the problem | The automatic transmission began to fail in oct 1998. Shifting to overdrive would not occur or would shift back and forth causing a bucking motion. After first trip to the dealership the filter and fluid were changed. The the condition worsened until the transmission would not shift into 3rd gear at all. This was then repaired but still does not shift properly all the time. The head gasket needs to be replaced now at 84,000 miles. I have seen these common problems on websites and thought i should report as they are the same type that seem to re-occur on this model. *ak |
