Second and Fourth gear noise
Hey guys, the other day I was driving my SS and I had switched off my radio on my way back home to hear the engine note. I noticed that under moderate to heavy acceleration, as I shift from first to second gear, there is a noise that seems to be coming from in front of the firewall. It sounded like a belt squeal so I switched off my AC to see if it would stop and it didn't seem to affect the problem. The sound is pretty easy to reproduce, I haven't taken it to the dealer yet because I kinda want to have an idea of what I am working with here as far as time away from my baby. I also noticed today that the sound was present, though fainter, shifting from 3rd to 4th. Any ideas? Is this the infamous grind issue that the Tremec TR-6060 are known for? (I always imagined it to be a much harsher sound if it is). Anyways, your help or advice is much appreciated my Camaro brethren!

The grinding issue people had was from 1st to 2nd gear but a noticeable grinding sound. Do a search and there are videos of people's cars with the grinding sound.

Check the (small) AC belt. Make sure it's not partially off the pulley.
