After the wife put about 80 miles on the car the check trans light came on and then the engine light.

Can you tell me the "rest of the story" on this?

I'm so dumb on the VX...just learning after buying for the wife just 2 days ago....I can't even figure out where to add trans fluid.

Now the guy that sold it to us showed us a repair of $2400 that I have plus up till next Mar for the guarantee...so I'll be calling these guys.

But the strange thing is in the manual it says when the check trans light comes on the trans won't shift and then you have to shift it manually.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong. Is it RECOMMENDING shifting manually so as to not cause any further damage?"@#$?

Otherwise the thing shifts great and is running great and it just passed emissions test in NJ just 2 days ago.
