Summary
Some vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms with the manual transmission. ? A grinding noise occurs when the transmission is shifted from 1st to 2nd and/or from 2nd to 3rd gear or in the neutral position with the engine idling. ? It is impossible to shift into 2nd and/or 3rd gear while there is no problem shifting into other gears. This may be caused by damage to 2nd and/or 3rd gears if the vehicle was driven with rapid acceleration and deceleration using frequent shift changes. To eliminate this concern, the configuration of the 2nd and 3rd gears has been changed to increase the rigidity. NOTE: Transmissions with the serial No. ?6TJ0701679? or higher are modified.
