NOTE:
THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL TRANSAXLE.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The manual transaxle is locked in neutral or locked in reverse after shifting out of reverse.
DIAGNOSIS:
If the operator of the vehicle describes this condition, perform the repair procedure. It is possible for the transaxle to "fix itself" because of vibration or impacts experienced while being towed in for repair and could happen again if the repair procedure is not performed. A rotated detent roller or clutch that is not fully disengaging will increase the chances of this condition happening.
