Looking into maybe purchasing this car listed above GT. It has announcement of a transmission shaft issue. What is that on manual transmissions on these cars? Googled it a bit and plenty of people reporting it.

Good morning,

Did you give you specifics?

I would assume the worse that you will have to replace the transmission. In most cases, if a shaft has failed there is other internal damage as well.

Didn't buy it, the dang thing went for retail price. All they say is that it has the common transmission issue and is the transmission shaft.

It would have been a money pit if it sold for retail.
