Once the transmission warmed up it would not down shift and would not change gear going up hill....would shake and shimmy and buck until it finally shifted .....transmission shop and dealership could not seem to find the problem .... Wiring was also checked .... Finally had to replace transmission to make it stop ... Was told after it was replaced that they had had a great deal of this happening to these cars but could not get buick to answer us about the recall

Per the federal safety agency item number sb037602 the manufacturer issued a recall for this vehicle due to loss of 2nd transmission gear from improperly manufactured clutch reaction plates. Per the dealer's service manager the recall affected about 5,000 vehicles manufactured before mine and states that gm will not replace the transmission on my vehicle that was not included in the recall. However it is probable that the recall problem had not yet been corrected in my vehicle because I am experiencing the exact same transmission problems as the recalled vehicles: mainly loss of 2nd gear. I would like to find out if the recall was expanded to additional 1995 buick century cars or if the manufacturer can be compelled to address my vehicle's problem under the circumstances. Thank you for your valued assistance in this matter!!!
