Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When shifting my six speed manual transmission into first gear, it often goes into reverse. this transmission doesn't have a lockout, but it has some kind of spring resistance that constantly fails, which causes you to shift the car into reverse when you are trying to put it into first gear. this action has almost caused numerous accidents at stop lights.*ak
