the transmission is good, it's driver error that causes the problems (ie mis-shifting due to close ratio)

Problem: the infamous 2nd gear grind.

How many of them think they're racers, and are stupid? There's your answer.

We've had two and no problems. Didn't notice the notchiness in the 2002 until someone asked if I had a problem with the transmission. All I had was a slight notchy feel when the car was cold. The 2004 haven't had any problems.
