Add me too

I'm listening close on this one. I've got just shy of 7k miles on my 2011 SS/MT and the 1-2 shift has always been rough. Today on the way home from work the 1-2 shift grind happened twice. Both were in the first two shift sequences after I started the car. I was very cold today (for Texas, it was around 32F when I left) and I wonder if that had something to do with it. I wanted to try it a few more times but wouldn't you know it, I caught all the stoplights green on the way home. This never happens, Murphy's law abounds.

Anyway, I think 1-2 has ground before but I always thought that was due to my inexperience. I've never driven a manual before I owned this car. I learned on my father's mustang in order to buy a MT Camaro. This was my first thought when it grinded the second time today. While still rolling, I put it back in N and made sure my foot was pressed all the way to the floor and tried to enter 2 again. Again it grinds.

Imagine my terror to find this thread and other like it scattered around the boards. Moreover they are littered with tales of service departments that seem to be lacking in well...service. In Texas we have a saying for that, "all hat and no cow," but I digress. It sounds like very recently some fixes might have been accomplished by togtaker. Your input would interest me very much.

Much props to Rick@RKT56 for taking interest in his at large customers and fellow Chevrolet drivers. Somebody recommend this guy for a bad@ss service award. Continue the good work my man. This ain't over yet.
