I have been driving 40 years and I cut my teeth on manual transmissions. Very rarely did I or do I miss shifts. I have owned multiple high performance vehicles. My everyday driver is a 5 speed stick and it gets 500 miles a week put on it commuting. Strange how that car doesn't have a shifting issue. I KNOW HOW TO SHIFT!

GM are you listening to your INVESTORS? It isn't driver error! Your techs can't duplicate the problem with the car sitting in a stall or on a rack!!! THEY MUST get off their butts and drive the cars out on the road. Drive them hard and try a few power shifts and they will see.

And while you are at it GM... authorize the splitting of the master brake cylinder and the clutch reservoir. Make that a required safety recall.

Every so often, a G.M. representative(s) appears in various threads and offers to provide assistance. I'm a bit surprised that they are avoiding this particular issue. What's even more appalling is the fact that owners must (on their own) seek other various "aftermarket" solutions to a problem that still isn't recognized by G.M. I would guess that in the end... it all comes down to $$$. A safety recall = $$$. Admitting to a flaw.... would cost them.... and they know that.
