I agree. If you know how to do the work yourself--do it. You will have to
remove both of the back tires. If you have not done this type of work
before--have your favorite mechanic or dealer check them for you. A
mechanic can easily determine if there was any damage that needs to be
repaired. Look at the bright side--this is not an expensive problem to
fix. I heard a story about some rich lady that purchased a Porche that had
an automatic trans. She decided that she wanted to go really fast one day
and placed the trans. in R which really screwed up the trans. She had it
towed to the dealership and the service manager asked her why she placed
the transmission in R while traveling at a high rate of speed. She said
that she thought the R stood for RACE. I hope this was a joke and not a
true story but I have heard the story repeated by several different
people.
