I had transmission failure of the 3rd and 4th gears that started out as gears slipping, then the transmission stopped shifting to 3rd and 4th all together. I did not do anything to fix the problem because it is too expensive. I had to buy another car just to get to and from work since it was cheape, and I have been letting the car sit in my driveway.
