Said that dealer had not changed oil as per maint program as paid. Back to the repair shop as transmission started shifting to 4rd and 5th gears very soon at low speeds. Shop reprogrammed computer. Back to the transmission shop given that last reprogramming caused the vibration in 3rd gear to be back again very strongly. Reprogrammed again and vibration reduced (still there, but much slightly). Shifts much better now. |

After briefly pulling a small trailer, the next day the transmission started having sticking or shifting delays. I took it in right away.

| 147560 mi C $2700 |
rebuilt the transmission due to major slippage, especially on 1-2 upshift but also 2-3. With tranny open, significant clutch wear was noted. Car barely worth cost of repair, could have scrapped it but I had a buyer who wanted it fixed |
| 139000 mi | CEL P0740, transmission was also shifting late and hard, probably needed new transmission |
| 163000 mi US $2800 |
