POWER TRAIN - MANUAL TRANSMISSION
01/01/2012	70000	1
	At around 70,000 miles (around jan 2012), my celica (manual transmission) began slipping out of 3rd gear, sporadically. i consulted with a toyota dealership about the problem, and they told me the most effective way of fixing the problem was to replace the whole transmission (given how labor-intensive opening the transmission is). given the low mileage (i'm now at 79,000), i'm outraged! i called customer experience center, and they told me they would not assist in repairs because i was past the 60,000 warranty. i asked the person who took my call if he would agree that it was ridiculous that my car could fall apart at 60,001 with no recourse, and he said, i would agree that it's ridiculous. it costs $2288.82 for a new transmission, plus around $1036 to install. the car now won't stay in 3rd gear at all now. so, i've been bypassing the 3rd gear, knowing that i'm on borrowed time. *tr
