RJ-1665-0

The ball joint of the second shift rod of the transmission does not have sufficient strength, and therefore, it may develop a crack. If this problem is left unattended, the ball joint may break, and this will make it impossible to change the gear and in the worst case would cause the vehicle to stall.
