Replaced the clutch in this vehicle after about 110,000 miles. Dealer wanted $1800 for the job. I found another shop that replaced for about $1000. The work requires the engine to be dropped (v6 models)and is an 8 hour plus job. |

Occasional slippage when shifting into 4th gear. RPM briefly go up then down. Changed filter, switched ATF to Castrol IMV. I think it's a programming rather than a mechanical issue. Otherwise tranny is shifting great. |

A harsh shift from 5th to 4th(6sp auto) suddenly started and occurred every time. Dealer "looked at it" & said they do not repair transmissions, only replace. Took to trans shop, could not replicate problem. Problem has not occurred since. |
