man, i dont even know what happened...*930am* i was on my way to get an oil change @ the dealership...i downshifted from 2nd to first and once the revs hit 2K or higher, it started making some sort of high pitched zip noise...the noise would go away for about 5 mins of driving after restart...went on driving thru the day...about 8pm, i came to a stop i experienced trouble starting off (car sputtering like the traction control was kicking in, but i wasnt mashing the gas) ...next stop, the car was NOT moving @ all when given gas...just reving out...i had no control over the gear shift or anything...i then had to shut off, take the key out, and restart to get the car to move...(repeated 4 times to make it a half mile)...my mechanic said there were small pieces broken off inside the trans. which were blocking some filter inside and thats what was causing the issue..that was the end of May, i havent driven my whip SINCE THEN!!! my mechanic ordered the entire trans. from Lakeview MB and the ***** still hasnt arrived @ his shop...so EF Lakeview...but thats the story thanks for listening...ha
