If they'll fix 4th gear for me, he is welcome to try that in my car... Then he can see what happens when the tires are already spinning at the red line when you try to shift...

If I caught the point, 1-2 does have triple synchro/lockers, and the rest of the gears have doubles... We finally got 1-2, 2-3, fixed, but 3-4 still hangs up pretty bad...

Well obviously they NEVER did any Woodward testing on the V6 Manual. Otherwise you would of heard a violent grind going into 2nd gear. LOL

The term - unintended consequences - come to mind when discussing this video and seeing the comments above. If the trans was generally thought well of the video would be a hit. But given the trans is generally consider a problem the video only serves to make gm look, well honestly, incompetent.

WOW! I can feel the love. It would be nice to get some feedback from GM about this video and the contempt that many have towards GM and their transmission.
