As those in Antlers know, I lost 4th gear on the trip and there was plenty of grinding going on with the other gears. Well, I called the dealership today and here is what they told me:

The cases are damaged. Behind the left cover there is a shaft that has shift stars on it. The bearing that goes from inside out touches the tabs on the star. Well, the tabs are broken and the cases are damaged.

The service manager stopped all work and they are contacting the warranty company to find out just what they are going to do. It may be that they rebuild the transmission or engine, depending on the amount of damage, or, I'm thinking, they may consider a new engine. Either way, the first thing they asked was if I had an extended warranty. So...I'm without my baby until the warranty company decides what to do.

This sucks!!!
