I believe he has to prove that it was driver abuse, he trying to get out of fixing the problem. As for a wear item it clearly states that any internal lubricated part is covered under the powertrain warranty. Either way, wearable parts have a 12k warranty. If they still claim its a wearable part despite what the GM powertain warranty states let them know you have no problem with speaking to the better business bureau and one of their lawyers.

Took a drive with the transmission guy at my local dealership. Long story short - I was told to cut a hair off my shift time. Let the synchro do its work... dont jam the shifter in there. I dont know what to believe anymore... I was told "youll end up fine ultimately, when something does fail. These cars have a 100k 5 year powertrain warranty... when something does fail it will be covered." I tried to explain to them that this grind happening... 12+ times since ive owned it... HAS to be shaving something off. Metal shavings dont sound healthy, as HEALTHY as a grind in general. He assured me if something did fail, it would be covered. I want to believe... but all the internet is good for nowadays is horror stories. What about the people who havent had this problem. I am torn between what I feel is wrong and not performing as intended, and my improper shifting... etc etc... Sorry guys... been a long day. -.-''''


I dont know what to say anymore... maybe I am just "noob" when it comes to manual. I had a 94' ford probe 5spd 4 cyl... I could shift it however I wanted it would perform. Maybe I need to understand this car isnt a 4cyl... it puts out way more torque... esp post 5-5.5k RPMS.

I also second guess and wonder though... can this many of us be wrong? Something has to be askew....

There is no doubt a problem with this transmission, period. Even if you shift it easy, it still binds going into second every time. That is not a driving style problem. Since he stated to drive it and if it breaks they will stand behind it, make him put that in writting on the service ticket from today and put it in your service record on the car. You do not want him coming back later and stating it was driving style that broke the transmission. I have been lucky thus far and even if I run her pretty hard through first I only get the slight bind going into second. I'm sort of babying it for now since it my daily driver and I'd really rather not drive some minivan loaner car again for a week (that's antoher story). I keep hoping GM will figure out a real fix and issue a service bulletin so I can then get it fixed once and for all.

Yes I see that now just got back from the dealer and pissed off

[dougpaw57]

Well today is the two month anniversary of me trading my 2010 2LT M6 in on a 2011 Ford F-150. I've still been subscribed to this thread in the hopes that GM would come to the aid of Aisen owners. I guess that just isn't going to happen. It's a damn shame that the Camaro was such a great car let down by substandard hardware. Everyone I told my plight to said that's what you get for buying a POS GM American car, you should have bought a Toyota. I then had to explain that my American GM car was fine except for the POS Japanese transmission. Even though I no longer have my Camaro, I was hoping that somebody at GM would help you guys out. Maybe the NHTSA route will work because I think that GM is now starting to take the stance that it's the owners fault as opposed to there's nothing wrong with the transmissions. Anyway, I wish you guys all the best and maybe I'll read in the news that GM is going to fix defective Camaro transmissions. Later!

So where are the TSBs for the issues. I had my car in and the service writer told me there where 7 TSBs for the V6 trans but none of them covered my issues.

Most of them were for the clutch pressure plate falling apart due to the guy on the line not tightening the screws. One is for the shaft falling apart on V8s.
And one is basically saying if the tranny shifts hard is due to the user and the tranny is running fine.
