While the vehicle is in motion at highway speeds, the transmission fails to shift into 5th or 6th gear causing excessive rpms, noise, and shaking to the frame at speeds above 50 mph. This could be potentially hazardous and cause severe transmission damage over a short period of time if not repaired.
