I PARKED THE CAR ON A HILL LAST WEEK AND COULDNT GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO HAVE SOME BUDDIES ROCK THE CAR TO GET IT OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE HASNT RODE THE SAME SINCE. IT DOESNT GO INTO DRIVE AS SMOOTHLY AND THE CAR ALSO REVS AT HIGHER RPMS THAN AVERAGE BEFORE SWITCHING INTO THE NEXT GEAR. *TR
