Service visit tomorrow - what recalls & know issues do I need to be aware of?

I too received the u-joint recall letter. Fair to say I'm not pleased with this 8-speed. I've already had it replaced once and now it's starting to shift hard, mainly on downshifts. Sometimes there's a hard "clunk" when shifting from 2nd to 1st. I'm not sure what to expect from this new tranny, but if this is it, I'd be happy to take the old 5-sp.

Hmmm, not good at all! I really like the 8-speed but I'm not having the same issues that you are. The old 6-speed was certainly a reliable unit though.
