It almost brings tears to my eyes because I love everything else about the car, but I will not go through this tranny crap any longer! this is a 40,000 dollar car and GM should not allow this crap to happen and need to Fix the ISSUE with the TR-6060. Best of luck to all the guys out there that have similar issues and will have these issues. I want to thank everyone for your support and it has been a rough ride, but at least I can say I tried to own such a great piece of American muscle.

That is a DAM SHAME!! These Chevrolet dealers with piss poor trained professional staff!! They drive customers to this point and of course at OP's expense.

not a 1le but my notchy shift 1-2 started at 36 miles,
now with 24K miles not any better but not any worse either ......
just my 2 cents

Sorry to hear it's all come down to this for you. Will they order another 1LE for you? Or maybe you feel you've had enough.

Sorry you're having these issues. I know what you're going through. Had problems with reverse on my V6 fourth gen and couldn't duplicate the problem for the dealership. 2nd gear went out at 39k miles, 3k after warranty was up, and caused the transmission to need a complete rebuild. Dealership wouldn't help and I should have pursued it further but didn't and ended up swallowing a $1,700 bill out of pocket. Just hit 139k miles today and reverse still clunks every now and then but I haven't needed another rebuild. I personally would make them fix it or get me another car but I can understand your decision. Good luck with whatever ends up happening.

It's a new day!! If you havent completely given up, bring it to the west side of wisconsin to Runde Chevrolet. That"s wwhere I work. Got one of the best techs a dealership could ask for. He rebuilds, if needed, all the trans issues whether it is an auto or manual. or they just order a new one, which would probably be your case. This is straight forward stuff!! If a dealership won't do anything about it, it's because they don't have the know how or terrible customer service. Hate to see you get rid of it when not necessary. Here to help. Give us a call if you have any questions what so ever.

Hmm... That's a shame. Did they even get a chance to look at it? Sounds like your car has bad synchros. I can understand not wanting to go through the hassle of warranty repairs on a new car. Are you gonna get another Camaro or have you been soured by the experience?

I did the following:
1.) Upgraded to a ZR1 clutch
2.) IdealG Master Cylinder
3.) Tick clutch line
4.) Bleed the clutch line several times
5.) Changed to Royal Purple synthetic trans fluid

Feels like a totally different transmission is in the car. Shifts a lot smother, engages a lot better and just all around better.

I do agree. These kind of issues from the factory are not acceptable.

The dealer just doesn't understand. I brought it in and they said that another new ss on the lot did the same thing shifting hard into second. Because of that they sad it was normal. I am not going to bring it back when they think a 40000k car should shift like that and tell me it's normal. The reverse thing was new and that's what made this an easy choice to trade it in. I just want out of this mess period.

I test drove a 1LE the other day, and the first thing that came apparent was the gummy/notchy feeling shifter. It did get slightly better towards the end of the drive, but it did make me think is this something i want to deal with? Am i going to have to throw money at it right away to take of this?
I went through this dealing with the AFM on my 10, until i decided that i had to have it tuned or be ticked every time i drive it. Guess i will not be upgrading anytime soon....

Mine is not gummy nor notchy. Mine feels great. I was having some trouble switching from Audi to Chevy but I honestly feel like I can shift better in the 1LE now than before.
