Hi

I live in the UK and traded in My Alfa 2.5 V6 for an X plate Late November
2000 S-type, I have had it 3 Months now and to date its been great, I rang
my dealer when the Gear box problem arose here in the UK were it could slip
into reverse in certain conditions, I was told my car / year Gearbox was not
affected.

I have read allot on this forum with people having Transmission problems on
the 3L V6, and I also noticed allot seemed to be US owners with problems so
I wonder if there's are different or there climate affects it some how.

Any way to date I am very pleased with the car a joy to drive, and doesn't
cost any more to run than my Alfa, now they are cars that need to be
mothered but return a rewarding drive.

Yeah now that is one thing I do miss the sound of that V6 in full song is
awesome, its the last of the original Alfa V6's, the new ones are watered
down GM units that Alfa are trying to get extra power from and there
unmistakable sound.
