Transmission problems :(

Weather bad very cold stock tires taking car in monday made the appointment will keep you posted, quickly had a brief chat with dealer service guy was snarky and didnt believe me

OP, since tranny and clutch issues seem to be the topic of the day, I am assuming that your car only has normal street use on it and has not been to any track day / competition events.

I hope all goes well, and look forward to their response as well. I know when I first started driving our 1LE 24000 miles ago, it was a big adjustment from the WS6 it replaced, and I made some mistakes. Now it is just about the smoothest clutch / transmission that I have ever had. I am interested in what they say. Hang in there.

AND YOU WONDER WHY IN YOUR OTHER THREAD GM WILL NOT COVER YOUR CONCERNS..........YOU JUST POSTED TO THE WORLD YOU USE THE VEHICLE IN COMPETITION....SUPRISED THEY HAVENT PUT A COMPLETE WARRANTY BLOCK ON IT, THEN AGAIN I KNOW A FEW FOLKS IN DETROIT SEE IF I CAN SEND THEM THIS THREAD...

Chevy will cover the car even when used on the track. I believe it was big Al that said no worries for this that track Chevy will not void or block warranties like other manufacturers do. In the 5+ years the Camaro has been out I have yet to see any track related warranty issues. I won't be surprised if the occasional dealer try's to get out of work because but they are supposed to cover it.

Ok, so "racing" and "competition" are considered "misuse of the vehicle".

Fine.

Surely though, they don't mean an "event" like taking an instructor on a track with you, and learning to drive and becoming familiar with the beast, to make one more safe and civilized on the street?

I can understand "racing against the clock" being categorized as competition, or a race even. But a lone dude, just going solo, on a few nice n easy hot laps, with no clock, no cars around even, but on a nice closed course circuit, getting to know their car, (and having fun too), like a few on here are doing like 3 events per summer, should not IMHO, be experiencing clutch system related issues, at these low mileages.

A potential Chevrolet 1LE client, upon reading some of these clutch/and consequent grind threads, IMHO SHOULD NOT have to immediately be forced to budget-in a new clutch system, onto those monthly payments, like extra reservoir, upgraded slave, upgraded TO bearing, upgraded this, upgraded that, before they even buy the car, just so that they can pull the cars legs a few laps at a local track, or even track school with some "peace of mind"?? C'mon now...

AT 20000...30000+miles on the odometer, one could begin to dismiss this, as wear n tear, gotta pay to play thing.

You cannot use the you gotta pay to play rule, at a mere 6000miles later after showroom, THIS IS bad advertising.

Just sayin'
