    Engine stumbling

    Just had my 500 mile service and mentioned to the dealer that there was a fairly significant stumble, surge, and otherwise not smooth engine run in the low to mid 2,000 rpm range, most noticeable in first and second gear.

I just got the word from the shop that they started the diagnosis and found many pieces of gears in the lower part of the engine. They say it may...
