I'm sure you meant 20,000 ~ 22,000 Vin range. But anyway............... Don't count on them being released anytime soon. IF there is a problem with them, thats a LOT of cars to repair and get out the door.

I'd LOVE to be wrong about it but that warm fuzzy I had back when mine was built on June 25th is no where to be found right now. :(

Good news always welcome..... Thanks

So have they lifted the constraint they had on ordering the m6 ss? I hope so, cause I would hate to be jumped by an automatic!!!!!!!

lol...probably one of the best posts ever...

I seem to recall my father saying something similar...but his was more along the lines of 'If I find out you've been doing burn outs again....'

miss the call? do u not have caller id, an answering machine or a person in ur home that can write a note?

if u hear nothing..........do nothing. if it breaks, they will fix it....

The way I see it, you have 5 years 100K miles to break something so hammer on.

If tremec keeps good records and you can narrow it down to a batch of output shafts that were heat treated or manufactured wrong, then they might be able to track these units down.

How many units affected? They may never know if they were lack in their inspection and record keeping.

Theres only one reason these break, they just plain arent strong enough and thats not normal.

I have only seen this happen once in my life, and I have been repairing manual transmissions for years.

It may not be a big deal when it happens, the guy who's trans I fixed had it happen back in 1993 and his car just stopped moving. It was a clean break. With the '10 Camaro's 2 piece driveshaft I really doubt it's gonna spit the driveshaft out either.

I suspect its a heat treating flaw.

Don't be suprised if they don't make many phone calls.

Hanzo · 07-22-2009, 09:15 PM

To tell the truth, I hope they call me. I'm 20113, if not anything, just a piece of mind. Otherwise I'll always be wondering. On the other hand, gives me a good reason to really punch it once in a while.

Either way, thanks for stepping up GM. They could have bailed and found it more cost effective to wait for them to break. Thanks!

Although back when my first order was in for the battery cable issue there was a massive backlog, and my car moved through in 22 days. It looks right now like we are going to be in at least 40-50 days. I still think that the issues with the 4D cars might be a little deeper than what we originally thought. Unless there were a huge backorder on parts (which it could be), you would think that at least a few of these cars would have moved, but I'm not sure any of them have.:(

My VIN's in the 21's and I got my car mid July...I wonder how these cars are inspected.
