There is a spring clip that belongs with tensioner belt that needs to be replaced again. There comes a knocking noise and shaking from vehicle when consumer is driving. Contacted dealer, and dealer is not willing to do anything about it.

There seemed to be no warning regarding this problem, other than a slight high pitched whining noise in the am., much like the sound of a serpentine belt.the transmission fluid level was appropriate when checked. The computer reading has stated several problems, including a bad clutch.it will cost $2000 for a rebuilt transmission.
