At acceleration the car won't shift when needed then it'll automatically down shift and stop accelerating.

Intermittently, the clutch pedal will be stuck to the floor after pressing it to switch gears. It happened to me when i was going from neutral to 1st gear and from 1st gear to second gear which is a huge safety concern as the car stalled and i almost hit someone and someone almost hit me. It has only happened to me 2 times in the last month because i found the source of the problem. The clutch return line is at…

The transmission gets stuck in gear when you accelerate hard, you can't take the car out of gear and the clutch does not work. The engine continually revs/speeds up when no one is touching the accelerator. This is very dangerous and needs to be addressed right away. This was driving in sport mode, this has no happened in normal mode.

No racing, drifting or heave presseure put on the transmission yet they still go bad and start to slip…
