It's fixed, but I have questions.

Failed after 6 months repair. 35MPH on country road set on cruise and this time it just goes to neutral. Had been shifting perfect. Had reverse, but no forward gears.

Failed 6 months ago on mild acceleration in a parking lot. Same symptoms. Shop said the sprag failed. This time, again the sprag failed. Fluid was perfectly clean, correct level.

I am a diesel mechanic, and know trannys, but just don't repair them, just replace and adjust. Cost of special tools not warranted.

Shop said they almost could not find the defect, there was no scoring or obvious damage. Hairline crack. I did not see the old part.

Was planning on giving car to my daughter, as this car is immaculate and would be a nice gift. But if I am giving a gift that is highl likely to fail, I must think twice.

I can find nothing online that indicates the sprag on this tranny is prone to failure nor nothing that would cause it.

Any ideas?
