Wow 11356Km and I have the cali in for a transmission swap. The Syncro Drum is toast. Good luck with your 1.8L SE 5 speed if you have one.

 

what are you saying exacly,is this a 1.8 5 speed proplem ?????

 

There haven't ben any issues with the 5 speed transmission. Sounds like a freak thing. That 5 speed transmission used to be in the Neon, its tried and a good unit that should last a long time.

 

Wrong my friends uncle works for a dealership in the service department apparently there has been lots of issues with it, and even a TSB put out for it. The TSB is only known by service people, apparently they dont want no one to know.
