| MT82 MANUAL TRANSMISSION, DIFFICULT ENGAGEMENT INTO ALL SPEEDS(FORWARD AND REVERSE). OCCASIONALLY LOCKED OUT OF 2ND GEAR, SOMETIMES DUE TO MPG SAVINGS SOLENOID OTHER TIMES NOT EXPLAINABLE.

MANUFACTURER'S ONLY DOCUMENTED FIX IS TO REPLACE FLUID, WHICH WAS ACCOMPLISHED AND DID NOT CHANGE PROBLEM. *TR | |
