AdeDaMutt, I just read your thread, and it is on point with mine. Right down to the volume. I don't think most would even notice it, which makes me wonder if it is very common and no one has piped in because they didn't think it abnormal. There are numerous tranny noise threads you can find via Google for the Camaro, and it would be tough to know if the sounds are different or the same.
As I said before, it almost sounds like many of the high HP trannies I have driven in the past. I used to have a 700 HP Mustang 5.0 with a T-56 Magnum, and that tranny made a ton of racket until you got past 2000 RPM. I had it switched out under warranty (for the tranny by the high performance shop), and the second one made the same noise. The explanation I got: Your transmission has large gears meant to handle high torque and will makes such noises.
Giant_G2 might have heard the same sound, so I will just enjoy the car. I will say this . . . the tranny shifts wonderfully. No complaints there at all. I just got the car, so I hate to start getting paranoid over something that is within "normal characteristics." And I certainly wouldn't want anyone unnecessarily tearing into it when it shifts so well.
