[TRC-SS]

Then I did a 3-2 shift. Same thing. The trans temp was a little past 30. I pulled into the store parking lot (trans temp between 30 and first line) and made a few 10mph laps around it. I tried multiple 1-2 shifts and it made the same grind every time. I then drove it back to the neighborhood (trans temp just past the first line [110?]), tried it again, and it went into 2nd without a problem. The reason I tested mine was because yesterday I took a straight side road right after leaving my house and hammered it. Ridiculous grinding on the 1-2 shift at high rpm's as well. It seems in every situation, my trans temp has been between 30 and the first line (105?). Should I drive straight to the dealer tomorrow, wait until it cools down, then let them try and duplicate it? Or is there nothing wrong and I should just let the darn thing warm up before driving it like a Camaro SS should be driven. I mean, I've shifted lightning fast with every manual car/truck I've ever owned and NEVER had a problem, cold, hot, or otherwise...

ALSO: Mine is a 2011, has just over 1,100 miles and the last numbers of my VIN are: 134441.

Just to add with your Vin....when was your build date???
