| Repeated hesitation, and popping out of gear. this vehicle has a manual transmission, the transmission has already been replaced once for the issue, but problem continues. the gear shifter pops out of first gear, and makes a loud noise when doing clutch and gas from a stand still. the gas pedal, and engine response lags, and bucks on occasion, with out setting a code. these combined make pulling into traffic dangerous. *tr | |||
