I have seen the transmission issues online. Are they all USA cars? Has anyone in the UK had a transmission issue?
Our car is now on c1700miles without issue.
(we get an occasional slight squeal from the brakes and sometimes a couple of dash rattles at certain rpm which i think is the front tweeter pods - neither real issues though)
Would you not think that some of the gearbox issues in the US are down to abuse of a manual box by people who up to now have only driven autos?
Pure guess,but perhaps 95% of Americans have never driven a car with a stick shift,as they call them.
