While I generally love the C900, have been driving them since purchasing one new in 1985, even had my sorry ass saved by one in a nasty accident, I have to say that the transmissions on these cars are just incredibly bad, certainly the worst I've ever encountered. Just what the **** were the designers smoking? In most cars, except maybe for high-power performance applications and abuse, a manual transmission is something you just don't have to worry about. Certainly it's not unusual for manual transmissions on most cars to give decades of service without needing attention.
This morning the weather was so bitterly cold that I just didn't want to deal with the shifting problems on the 900 and drove my AMC Hornet instead...
