On my 03' Touring. I took your guys advice and left it over night so I could drive with a tech in the car with a cold transmission.

After 5 months of run-around it grinded into third as always.. and the tech immediatley goes "Yup new tranny.. all set..."


such a relief! I just hit 50K on the odo and I thought I was gonna get screwed outta a new transmission.


just excited... finally got this done.

 

cool man!

 

Damn.. HTF did you do that?? Im ****ing mind boggled... Did you uh........

 

I just hit 30k and seem to have a hard grind in 3rd gear on cold starts. Usually it is before and after work. It seems to need to sit at least 3 hours before it will do it again. The clutch will be all the way to the floor and it will still grind. Any suggestions on how you got them to replace it besides letting it sit at the dealership?
