That's not a lot to go on, but rewrite that with some actual info, and a Baker drivetrain rep. may magically appear.

Mark @ Baker Drivetrains post on here on a regular basis.
Why don't you try contacting him or them first with your problem?

Don't have a Baker myself, but from what I've seen here over the years is generally satisfied customers, with and without problems.

Something I will be sure to remember if I am ever in the market for a transmission.

I have a Baker 5 speed. 25,000 plus miles, no issues at all.
