Stevo... welcome!!!

Yes, it was a problem for a only a "few" of the early productions cars. Chrysler is well aware of it and there is a TSB out now that addresses the issue. I would not let the issue influence you not to buy the 6-speed.

BTW: there is no 5-speed, only 6-speed and the auto-stick.

Enjoy your new XFire!!! :wink: :wink: :wink:
