I haven't had that problem, but a few months ago when I first got my VX, the tranny went out completely. I purchased a used transmisson from a member on here (Wisdom) and had it installed. Total was about $1300 to buy and have it put it at a local shop. Much cheaper and works great now! It was a much better option for me than to have it rebuilt for $3000-$5000 I was quoted. Ha.
