Is there a tsb on this my car is suffering now. 2nd is getting bad... Grinds sounds like a zipper sometimes lol. And other times I have to pull it in gear twice like it clicks in on second pull this is with normal driving when sometimes fine after driving a bit.

Will they fix it free under powertrain or no?

They fixed mine under warranty. Replaced all the synchros and 2nd gear. I am the second owner so dont know what the first owner did to the tranny. Anyway, got it back from the dealer and it is smooth as buutter. No grind in any gear. Like new and no cost! I was at just over 42k miles. This issue keeps popping up on the forum and some say a little grind is normal and I totally disagree. If you drive it right, your tranny should last and should not develop any grind, at least not until like 100k miles. Now if you are really slamming it or dropping 1/4 miles, the stock tranny will likely eventually go south. But I've owned lots of manuals and never had any grind and some of them racked a lot of miles like my 92 Camaro. Take it in, they should fix it.

My camaro gets daily driven. I shouldn't have a issue like I am this car wasn't tracked. I feel like it's broken for sure you're right anyone racing is different situation.

With 67k miles but had issue since 7k does my power train warranty cover it or no?

I'm no longer under the bumper to bumper

You better take it in soon to find out, gear grind could damage your transmission even more.

Yeah, you need to get it fixed. You are tearing up your tranny. It should cover it as you are under 100k miles and/or 5 years...I think that's right
