| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 eclipse gt (v6) and i have had to change the transmission twice already. i live in minot nd were it snows. the first time my transmission jacked on me i was stopped at a light. their was snow on the ground so when the light changed to green my tires slid a like and the grab the payment as that happened i heard a big thump. my car felt like an axle mess up or the clutch. the car behind me almost hit me do to the lack of movement from my vehicle. i was not that for from me house so i drove it home but one block a way my tranny ended up blowing a hole in the bottom of the case. the hole size was about the size of a soft ball. my speed was about 15 mph. so get home and i check it out. i find gears all shattered inside and what ever had fallen out. so now i buy a used tranny with some 65000 miles on it, i have had that one for a bout one year with putting 7000 miles on the tranny. again there is snow on the ground. i am getting off of work and there is snow on my tires. the many road is cleared of snow so i drive out of the parking lot and my tires spin as i hit the pavement and the same thing happens. the tranny slips in gear so i got it to the shop and come to find out that the differential had shattered the spider gears. i have spent 3000 dollars on two trannies with in one year span. *nm |
