i have 2lt with the automatic trans. i usually rest my hand on the shifter when i hit a bump in the road even a small bump i can feel it moving in place the best way to describe it is like a wiggle

i dont recall this happening in any other of my cars what do you guys think>

so maybe this isnt normal

Croathlete · 07-09-2009, 10:08 PM

Feel it on mine too. I'm gonna say it's normal...

camarofanatic · 07-09-2009, 10:12 PM

when i hear the tranny draging or starting to fall out then its not normal lol

lakers171 · 07-10-2009, 01:42 AM

yeah im starting to believe its normal because i feel it also.

My wifes Trailblazer's shifter moves and feels like its going to come off if I pull on it too hard. I can move the handle about 1/8" or so in a couple of directions. But this doesn't have any affect on the shifting from "P, R, N, D," or whatever. I think this will be the same thing for Camaro. Check sig, I have an Auto coming in the next couple of weeks (end of the month) I think. I don't think it's going to be an issue.

Any other thoughts?????

They are on vibration dampening mounts just like the engine. It's normal for the type of powertrain. Fwd vehicles there is nothing there that's old school.

You won't need a heater in the winter the AT Tranny will keep U warm.

Nova65 · 07-10-2009, 09:25 AM

nope, mine is tight in place

badkarma · 07-10-2009, 10:29 AM

Hehe, if you think the auto moves, you should see the manual.

camarofanatic · 07-10-2009, 10:48 AM

so only one person says his is in place so maybe this is one of those defects?

CamaroDreams07 · 07-10-2009, 11:41 AM

I wouldnt worry about this... in my current GM car I have the same "problem". That cars 9 years old and nothing ever happened as a result of it, it's just the way it is.
