General Comments:
I still don't know if I did describe my problem with the car but I absolutely need to borough some tears because I lack of mine. I bought a problem for myself and now the transmission was fixed and I am still having the gear shifting problem. At first, I went to the shop and the guy told me to change the Speed Sensor Switch and I did it and solve my problem for another year. At the present, I have done the entire repair on the transmission, the SS-Switch is OK, solenoids had been change and we don't know how to solve the shifting problem. Any help on this? Any suggestions?
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

330,000 km on the original transmission on a 626? This has got to be a fairytale. I've never ever heard this transmission go past 150,000 miles without problems. Typically they go at 80-100,000 miles, but can very well go at 50 if you get a bad one. And why are you quoting mileage in kms? Is this a car originally sold in the US?
