Description of the problem | Automatic transmission failed prematurely. Manufacturer and dealer contacted and denied any responsibility. New transmission installed with incorrect speedometer gear. Stopped by state police and issued a citation for speeding at 74mph in a 65mph zone. My speedometer was reading 65mph! I believe a incorrect speedometer gear is responsible for the original transmission failing since it seems the speeds seem the same now as when i had the original transmission. I'm used to the same speed yet the speedometer is low by about 10mph! *ak |
