14368 - CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION (MG9, M10, MM6) MAY HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION CAN GET STUCK IN GEAR DUE TO A SHIFT LINKAGE RETAINING CLIP NOT BEING PROPERLY INSTALLED. IF THE RETAINING CLIP IS NOT IN THE CORRECT POSITION OR IS MISSING, THE SHIFT LINKAGE PIN MAY BACK OUT OF ASSEMBLY. IF THIS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE SHIFTED OUT OF WHICHEVER GEAR IT HAPPENS TO BE IN AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. IF IN A HIGHER GEAR, THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN TO A STOP WITHOUT STALLING BY PUSHING IN THE CLUTCH TO COAST TO A STOP. IF IN A LOWER GEAR, THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN TO A NORMAL STOP WITHOUT STALLING. DEALERS ARE TO INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION TO DETERMINE IF THE SHIFT LINKAGE RETAINING CLIPS AND SHIFT LINKAGE PIN ARE IN PLACE. IF THE RETAINING CLIPS AND PIN ARE IN PLACE NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED. IF ANY COMBINATION OF THE RETAINING CLIPS AND/OR PIN ARE MISSING, INSTALLATION OF TWO NEW RETAINING CLIPS AND A NEW PIN IS REQUIRED.
