Okay. So some of you may know that I lost the ole tranny out of my 94GT last October. Anyways. Within a week she was back up and running and then the idiots that put it in didn't put in new axle seals and the left axle seal leaked like crazy the first long distance I went. Had it towed back two hours for warranty repairs at my hometown Toyota. Ok...since the tranny was bought through the dealership, the axle seals were under warranty so the dealership covered the repair cost and towing. Nov. 06

About two months later, I am driving along down the interstate on my way to work, backed into the parking spot and after coming out of reverse I hear this pop. And then my car wouldn't go into park. Where the drive indicator was on the shifter was actually reverse and everything was amiss, I was like awesome, tranny is shot again or something. Tranny being under warranty, I wasn't worried about it. Since I live here in Memphis, I didn't want to take it back home 2 hours away were the car was fixed the first time. So the dealership arranged to have a warranty repair done here at a Memphis dealership. I figured it was something serious but it ending up being a linkage clip snaping because the linkage was to tight or something, I dunno. Jan. 07

So then another month goes by and then the same story only this time I put the car in park and I here the same pop. Call up the Memphis Dealership and have it towed in, they replace the clip and loosen the linkage. They said for some reason the linkage was really tight and they said it was binding so they loosened it and replaced the clip. Feb. 07

Now today. Same freaking story. Went from Drive to Reverse and the damn clip broke again. Warranty repair to be done Thursday.


My question is, what the hell keeps making the linkage clip snap????

Help someone.
