thats not the end of it, theres a huge list of other stuff that had to be fixed. I've been reading into the lemon laws in texas, my car easily qualifies. The sad thing is this new transmission with 500 mi has already ground 2nd twice at low rpms and it locks me out of reverse quite often.

it is a huge pain in the *** for me to go without my car for anytime at all. To add to the problems the dealership i take my car to is about an hour drive to the other side of town. Local dealership is about the worst there is when it comes to service. I really dont have time to get a lawyer and pursue the lemon law with this, i go to school and work full time.
