OK so here's what I found out from my dealer. Took it in this morning and after a few hours they called back saying that the synchros and 2nd gear failed. They ordered new parts, will take two weeks to come in, and they will replace it. They said I might as well keep driving it till then and just try to be as cautious as I can but not to worry about it too much since they are being replaced anyway. Just keep the revs down when shifting into 2nd.
They offered no further explanation of why they failed or if there was some sort of dealer notice from GM about this. They just said that this is a muscle car and is built and designed for performance. The competition mode furthers that and it should be more than able to stand up to most any load, unless you are racing it time and time again.
As for warming up your tranny, they said it would need no more than your motor would need, especially the SS as they are meant for "fair weather" driving anyway and would rarely see very cold temps.
As long as it gets fixed for good, under warranty which they said it would be, I'm a happy camper!
I have 6500kms on the car
