Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2005 dodge neon srt-4. i purchased the car last may brand new with 2 miles on the odometer. since about 800 miles i have been having a problem with the 3rd gear during both up shifting and down shifting. during the up shift, at times it will just lock out of gear, and i will have to release the clutch, rev the engine and then press the clutch again to get the gear to engage. during the down shift, about 1 out of 10 times it will either just pop back out of gear, it will seem to only partly engage, then grind and pop out, or just grind and not engage at all. i took it into the dealership where i purchased it, along with another local dodge dealership to ask about it, and at both places i was told that it is a common problem, but unless i could show them what was happening, while it was happening, there was nothing they could do about it. *jb
