So I just called the shop who did the work, best shop around, will take it apart and see whats wrong but he thinks the sun gear or whatever its called is stripped. I can't believe that with so few miles this could happen unless its a crap part to begin with. This tranny must be a piece of crap and now I have to wonder how long the whole thing will last...this car is a black hole with no end.....

You could always install a 3rd pedal and have it more reliable. I've always said this about automatic transmissions: "Something that complicated shouldn't work!"

All cars like these are black money holes. That's why we love 'em!

Looks like they have to rebuild the damn thing.with only 8000 miles on it..is this tranny a total piece of crap.? How can the one gear you use the least blow out?
