What owners wrote

The transmission in question is made by getrag. The manufacture listes this as unserviceable. The amount of problems associated with this trany are incredable. What can we do as consumers to protect ourselves from a faulty manufactured part?

November 1998

I have experienced two incidents of stripped splines on the transmission output shaft [that goes to the transfer case]. The bevel cut gear in the transfer case has also stripped in both instances. This has resulted in considerable expense having the transmission torn down to replace the shaft [not to mention rental car needed during the repair]. Once the shaft splines strip out - the car will not move and presents a clear and present danger to the driver who is out on the road!
