Per NHTSA item number SB037602 the manufacturer issued a recall for this vehicle due to loss of 2nd transmission gear from improperly manufactured clutch reaction plates. Per the dealer's service manager the recall affected about 5,000 vehicles manufactured before mine and states that GM will not replace the transmission on my vehicle that was not included in the recall. However it is probable that the recall problem had not yet been corrected in my vehicle because I am experiencing the exact same transmission problems as the recalled vehicles: Mainly loss of 2nd gear. I would like to find out if the recall was expanded to additional 1995 Buick Century cars or if the manufacturer can be compelled to address my vehicle's problem under the circumstances. Thank you for your valued assistance in this matter!!!

I have had two problems with the transmission in my Buick in less than one year. First the torque converter had to be replaced, now at 90,000 miles the pump assembly will have to be replaced.
