I spoke with a couple of the GM guys out at C5Fest about this transmission. I wanted to know if they intended to continue using it, with or without design changes, for the 2012 model that is being bumped up to 323hp with the new LFX engine. Yep, still using the AY6 next year too. There is no recall planned and each case is being dealt with as they come in. One of the guys I spoke with seemed to know exactly what I was talking about since he has a 1LT/RS manual as his daily driver. When I spoke to Scott Settlemire, he asked how I liked my car. I told him I loved everything about it but the weak ass Aisin transmission and the problems with 2nd gear. His response was something along the lines of "...that's interesting...unfortunately GM isn't the only one running into issues with transmissions lately, have you read about all the problems the 2011 Mustangs are having too?" WTF??? Seriously?

To be honest, I am considering to purchase a new Camaro. I was thinkting to buy an LS3 M6, but from what I am hearing, the L99 seems to be a safe bet with the automatic. I cant believe that the Manual transmission has been around longer than the automatic and still cant get it right. I am pretty disappointed that this is happening. I hope a TSB is offered soon......

On a separate note, took the car to the dealership today. Took a tech for a ride, got it to grind several times (and got it to hook up a few times normally too), the guy was like "yeah...that doesn't sound good." So they're going to get their transmission guy to do his thing and give me a call back later today to arrange rental car and all that. Heres to hoping they can figure it out and fix it. |

LOOL
So beware before you read this as I am in a bad place full of sarcasm.. No offense to any of the members of the forum. Sorry guys I was not expecting to hear from GM well you know Ford has issues too so tough luck. I am really upset with GM right now especially in Cfest aftermath. IMHO: Lets see what do Mustangs and camaro's v6's have in common? Crappy transmissions made in Asia.. I can't believe Getrag is making transmissions in China!! Yet another ruined brand. Well I bought an American car and got a Jap car, there should be a law against that or at least a disclaimer.. The funniest thing in all of this is that the crappy Malibu i am driving right now for about a month is faster than my camaro. I hate driving an automatic!!! Here is the kicker how come Dodge can afford to use a proper transmission and GM can't. Major difference is that Dodge uses stainless steel for their syncros and not brass. Also Dogde use the true and tested Borg T56. According to wiki Dodge requested stainless steel syncros from Borg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T56 Now given basic materials knowledge stainless steel is much tougher than brass but hey who needs a long lasting transmission. Before anyone tells me I know about the issues with the Aisin 1-2 being cause by the ratio and syncro. So what would be a good fix. Replace the first gear and make the 1-2 ratio not as bad!! Install a syncro made of carbon or stainless steel that can take the pressure. I really hope that this time when they fix it I can at least drive to another dealership so I can trade it in for 2007 SAAB aero. |

Just an update regarding my previous issue. GM called their mobile engineers and escalated my issue. Waiting to see what will happen I still have the postmortem guys on hold. I payed them 300$ to retain their services, and I mean this is the final break I will cut GM..

Well, they gave me a call back a short while ago...they're going to replace second gear. No mods or anything, so warranty is taking care of it (yay). They said it'll be a week or so before they get all the parts in, so I'm driving her around until they get the parts in. Then they said it could take a few days, and they'll provide me a rental at that time.
Here's to hoping that takes care of the problem... |

In my experience with all of these issues and I have had my transmission worked on 3 times, I think the majority of the problems isnt the transmissions but the clutch. The reason I say this is because when they rebuilt my transmission the same issues continued but when they replaced the tranny and clutch all the issues went away. When I saw the clutch it has less than 1/4 inch of meat left but the inside of the trannny was perfect.
