Power train: manual transmission

What is wrong
It is possible to move the shift lever into the reverse gear position, remove the ignition key, and still have the transmission in neutral, or, to accidently disengage reverse by striking the gear lever.
Risk
If the parking brake is not applied, the car can roll from its original parked position increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will replace transmission linkage components and complete a specially developed service adjustment procedure that will ensure that when the shift is moved to the reverse position, the reverse gear is actually engaged.
