Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Manual transmission is very difficult to put into reverse. transmission will also occasionally pop out of a gear while driving. in order to put transmission into reverse i have to put the transmission into another gear first, this works over half of the time, sometimes i have to put it in 3rd, 4th, then go up to reverse. this has been a problem since i first picked up the car. had dealer look at it, they claimed there were no tsb's or recalls for the 2004 gto so they flushed the transmission fluid and sent me on my way saying "at least you have reported it, that may cover you in the future if it fails." also, dealer did not understand why gm tells them to use the same fluid that goes into front drive automatics, this could cause gto manual transmission to burn out faster.*jb
