Zoltan,
  My friend; the inevitable final happened, the defective third/fourth
slider hub gave out. Your options are to swap out the transmission with a
used one or have it rebuilt. This is not a job for the average Joe due to
the specialized tools needed and complexity of assembly. IMHO they three
times more difficult to repair than the WBX engine.
   Of course remember that a used transaxle might have the same time bomb in
it; tick, tick, tick.....

My transmission is misbehaving.  I can not take it out of third gear without
some kind of forcing.  It also grinds gears in very cold mornings.
What is the reason?  Can it be still saved with some special oil?
