Thank you!

Thanks gang... yeah, I happened to stumble across the R/T website before reading your responses. I work in Hatfield so R/T is certainly convenient. The Lehigh Valley area is a possibility, too. Great suggestions! Thank you!

My biggest concern is that I just bought it a few weeks ago with 14,500 miles. I've put on about 700 miles and in that time I've noticed the gearbox seems to be showing wear, even with such low miles. After it warms up the gearbox produces what I can only describe as a "slushy" sound when the rpms are below 2200. It's totally silent when it's cold... but once it's warm it sounds troubling. It's more pronounced when the the drivetrain is under a load, such as accelerating or climbing a hill. At coasting speed it's not noticeable. There also seems to be a lot of slack in the gears, if that makes any sense... it just seems more "loose" than it should be.

I want this thing to last but I'm worried that the previous owner may have beat the hell out of this gearbox. I need the ears of an expert to tell me what they think before I take it to the dealer and fight them on a warranty issue.

Your thoughts? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again.
