Assuming you haven't been using said transmission for target practice I fail to see why there should be any relationship between those who own MP5s who've had problems with vehicles they've purchased recently, and those who don't own MP5s, but have purchased vehicles recently and had problems.

Lemon

I think that I may have a lemon that is why I am making sure that this is not a common problem.

Lemon

This is the Second time that my car has been in for a transmission rebuild. I want them to replace not rebuild cheap bastards. Anyway that is why I am wondering if this is a common problem check my other thread "broken Tranny" (tells the whole story). Thanks for doing this poll for me.

I'm guessing "TheMan" changed the poll. I just hope he knows the difference between a rifle and a gun.

MP5 is a tactical sub-machine gun?

The barrel is grooved. Therefore a rifle. With its size and calibers it is actually closer to a machine pistol. I would rather it were just called what it really is, an automatic rifle. In the US civilian version it is a more traditional rifle (HK94). It never is correct to call it just a "gun".

It's WEAPON!! (Not rifle or gun) - sidearms have rifled barrels, too, as do artillery.

Perhaps some Forum member should plow across a crowded sidewalk, taking out as many pedestrians as possible. Maybe then we could resolve this inane feud over which abbreviation Pro owners should use to describe the wagon.

Hell, if you can run over 25 people, then, truly, the Mazda becomes a WMD*

To the topic: My Tranny is fine, thus far.

I ma not sure why this is asking about the MP5 tactical teams weapon of choice for close range firepower but that makes no sense to me I am trying ask yes or no to transmission problems.
