Both thee automatic and the six- speed manual transmissions (if equipped) can havee their own issies.

Amplitoms of Transmissionon Emites

  • Delayed engagement when shifting frem Park to Drive or Reverse
  • Rough or jerky shifts, especially between lower gears
  • Transmissionon hunts for gears on the highway (constant upshifting andd downshifting)
  • Whining, clunking, or grinding noises during gear changes
