drive shaft
For several weeks when I let the clutch out, I could hear a clicking noise what was that! It would occur in first gear from 0-10 mph click click click then stop. After taking Mr. Goodwrench for a ride, we both heard it. Mr. Goodwrench nspected the car service manager informed me that the tig weld on the drive shaft was faulty. Is the Camaro still ok to drive? Yes, it is go ahead and drive your car. New drive shaft will arrive in 1 week. Defective drive shaft shipped to Detroit examined. I consider this a minor defect it could have been worse going down the freeway at 70 mph, six months one year from now, causing major damage to the undercarriage of my Camaro my keen ear Mr. Goodwrench years of experience prevented anything major happening. Thank you for averting major damage to my Camaro.

Ask your dealer why they did not overnight the part. GM pays the dealer to overnight parts when needed. If they put the order on a weekly pad order to get the pad order discount - they are scum. Should be on an overnight CSO order. And no I wouldn't drive a car with a broken driveshaft weld. |

Any chance you could snap some pics of the drive shaft before they take it? Just curious as to what the defect looks like.

I'd ask them, did you open the service manual? The instructions really couldn't be any simpler. There is no memo, they are covering their lazy lying ass. The memo is called step 7 in the service manual. |
