Hi All,

I had a 1999 VX since July 2007. I have not had any problems with her so far, well nothing to really worry about. (I hope!) Forgive me, but I'm a women that doesn't know much about cars, but I love my VX and want to know how to take care of it without spending a fortune. On occasion I catch the transmission jerking. It appears to be some kind of sensor problem cause when I look on the dashboard it will show the car's in 3rd when the transmission is in drive. When I wanted to check the transmission fluid, it appears that I also have a problem with the hood opener inside the car. When you pull the clutch, it doesn't click. It take 2 people to open the hood, one on the inside and one pushing on the hood. Finally, I don't see where one can check the tranny fluid on the 1999 model. The books just states to get it changed at the dealership. Can anyone give me any tips?
