78000 mi | Transmission had a major issue. When trying to back up out of a parking space one day, the car wouldn't move easily. I eventually backed up but then after that the transmission made bizarre noises. |

Clutch plate, throw out bearing, had to be replaced |

33480 mi | Clutch action would become rough after a hard pull to the red line. Dealer replaced pressure plate and release bearing under warranty. |
37200 mi | Rough clutch action came back. Mechanics took it for a road test and could not replicate the issue. Nothing was done but clutch action remains intermitently rough. |
8000 mi | Clutch making squealing sounds.. |
20300 mi | Bad release bearing |
35300 mi | Same squealing noise as before; did not replace release bearing but instead just greased some component (not sure which). |
37000 mi | Same squealing noise as before but unable to reproduce at dealer. The noise is temperature and humidity-related -- on warmer days (or when the transmission is warm) it's hard to pinpoint the noise. In this trip to the dealer, we could not. |
52700 mi | Squeal noise from release bearing. No issue found (however, squealing noise persists) and no repair made. |
