  1. Manual Transmission Nightmare

    Thanks. Since all the headaches back in January, the Gladiator has run great. Fingers crossed this issue is fully in the rearview mirror.
  2. Manual Transmission Nightmare

    No fluid leaking anywhere. I just can't figure out how it would shift just fine right after leaving the dealer and then after only driving it one more time, I had the failure again.
  3. Manual Transmission Nightmare

    Question for you guys: After getting the clutch repaired a few weeks ago, the Gladiator drove fine on the way home and for the next 50 miles that we put on it through the next few days. It wasn't until the third time I went out to drive it did I have that incident. If it was air in the line...
  4. Manual Transmission Nightmare

    I had posted it on another thread and then realized it should have been on this one.. Long story shot, the dealer had the Gladiator for the past 7 days. The service manager asked my permission to drive it for a few days after getting it driving again (He did verify there was air in the line...
  5. Manual Transmission Nightmare

    I bought one of the first manual Gladiators a year and half ago and I'm seriously regretting the purchase. I didn't have the Gladiator for two weeks when I went out to drive it one day, I could REALLY smell burning transmission fluid and had to park it on the side of the road and get it towed...

    Followup on the problem with the transmission with my Gladiator. It took ~10 days, but I FINALLY picked her up last night. The clutch did fail, but it was due to the wiring harness that runs from the gear shift to the clutch. Apparently that harness wasn't properly attached and it caused the...
  9. Just Ordered My Punk'n Metallic Gladiator

    Thanks.. HOPING it was just a snafu with one failed part and I won't have any other issues for the next 150,000 miles.. I ordered it on July 10th and picked it up two weeks ago today. So it was a pretty fast process. It is super fun to drive. I'm sure you will love it.
  10. Just Ordered My Punk'n Metallic Gladiator

    Yes. I absolutely love it.. Until the clutch went out Monday and I had to have it towed and the dealer is telling me it's going to be another week before they have the part and they don't know why the clutch would fail after 458 miles and yeah.. I'm just realllllllly hoping this is a 1 off..

    Followup on my problem with my transmission.. Spoke to the head of the service dept. yesterday. He said it was a clutch problem and they don't know why it happened.. They are replacing the clutch and flywheel, but he does not think the transmission itself was damaged. Maybe it was simply a...

    I know it won't be a gladiator (will probably be a rental from Enterprise next door to the dealer according to the service manager). I haven't had it off road.. Haven't been grinding gears.. No puddle of transmission fluid on the floor or anything like that. You just can't get it to engage to...

    I just went out to drive my Gladiator (458 miles in ~ 2 weeks and until 20 minutes ago, absolutely loved it). I could not get it to shift into reverse out of my garage. I ended up pushing it out of the garage, into the street (I wanted to see if I could drive it around the block and get...
  14. PUNK'N Gladiator JT Club

    Took the Gladiator down to Hocking Hills yesterday for it's first road trip. I find I keep stepping out into the garage to make sure it's still there.
