In the 3-speed automatic transmission, some ring gear mounting bolt threaded holes were machined improperly. Continued use causes the mounting bolts to loosen and contact the transmission case, generating abnormal noise. In the worst case, the transmission may be damaged and the vehicle may become inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the automatic transmission with a non-defective unit.
