Be afraid...be VERY afraid...

Mine's also an '01 (w/auto). I think I'll dump it before 100k. I don't want the worries.

Read through some of the info in the "Transmission Recall Q & A" section of the forum. Ultimately, the decision to buy is yours. If you really like the CL, your best bet may be to look for a 6spd. manual. I love everything about my CL except the transmission. Oh...that and the rotors that tend to warp, but other than that....

The HELL with all of that nonsense, I bought it to enjoy it! It's under warranty! If it breaks, who cares! They'll fix it. And if they don't, they'll quickly find themselves on the defendent side of a court room.
