Help!!

I got a puncture while driving on the highway 2 days ago...after changing the tyre, went back in and the car refused to go into gear. Had to get it towed to my garage, and they're saying it needs a new transmission...anyone had that problem? Before that I had the 2nds gear grinding/slip-out problem. Any input is welcome!

Likely it does, it seems.

What year?

Also, another guy in here had a similar problem.

I had my final drive gear and something else blow up on me. They said it was from abuse and replaced the tranny out of my pocket

Any gear? or just like 2nd gear? I know some guys who have had that happen to them, it ended up being the tranny, but it was only 2nd gear.

Yeah I did, but in the end they had my car and they wouldn't give it to me until I payed it. It was about $3,500. And that is why I have a personal vendetta against Continental Acura in Naperville.

But that's not even the worst of my dealer experiences.
