Manual transmissions are durable, reliable pieces of equipment. Still, sometimes problems arise. Lee's Auto Repair in Independence has the answer to a question that plagues many manual transmissions; why does my transmission pop out of gear?

All of a vehicle’s lights make driving easier and safer, and all of them are important...not to mention legally required.
