Help! Transmission "binding" up...
I just got my 01 and am already having problems 
. At first I would put it into reverse every once in a while and it would "stick." I could get it out but it was very hard and it felt like something was holding on to the other end. Today I backed the car up and pulled it forward about ten times. Suddenly it became VERY difficult to move the shift lever into any gear, it was even hard to move in neutral. I let the car sit for a few hours and it seems fine now (got the trans fluid changed immediately, it was burnt but full). It still seems to stick in reverse every two or three times I use it but I'm not sure if it's even safe to drive. Anyone else has this problem?
