Transmission very noisy when in neutral with clutch out, also while driving. has on several occasions stuck in 2nd. gear. took back to dealer several times and was advised that there was nothing they could do, that they all sound that way. it has become louder with more mileage on the vehicle. i am to the point where i am considering selling vehicle. it sounds like a bucket of bolts and i do not want to wait until it fails completly. i have heard of numerous others with same problem who have had the transmissions replaced with no improvement. i am very disappointed in this vehicle. *ak
Transmission is very loud whn idling (stops when clutch is depressed), after extended drive time - clutch becomes very sticky and difficult to shift, occasional dropping from gear.*ak
Transmission (5speed) jumps out of first gear all the time when starting from a standing start. has done this since the night i picked up the vehicle. dealership ask me to drive it for a few miles to see if it would clear up, it didn't. has gotten me into trouble several times while trying to merge with traffic. you never know when it's going to happen. *ak
