Hello its a sad day My camaro is in the Shop with no driveshaft!
Can anyone tell me if this has been happing to anyone else i heard a little bit of info that a handful of peoples tranny's are being recalled

I have the 2ss with 6m and i was driving home one morning all of the sudden BANG as i pulled over the damage was already done and my driveshaft was hanging it looks like the problem was the conection to the tranny now they are waiting on the word if its going to be covered???? this i dont understand ????

They have to check the computer and transmission tunes to see if they are factory tunes. If not they void the drivetrain warranty on the car and you have to pay.

You were just driving along when the failure occurred? Have you raced your car?

This is a known issue with some 6 speed manual transmissions. As long as he hasn't tuned his car or done anything to the engine, it should be covered...
