I was told they found nothing wrong. Okay. So next time I'm in for my free oil change, I bring up the issue again. Now, not being a car driving as hard as my Camaro, the issue was pronounced but far more mild. Anyway, it wasn't much different than the first time they looked, but that time they gave me a new transmission (which helped).


So, let's say they don't find anything, I don't screw myself over by signing and picking it up...or do I?
I'm not a lawyer but I don't think so. All you're signing is something saying "We looked and didn't find anything." If you're still concerned you should take it elsewhere.

This is the rough part of owning a new performance car. Warranties are great things for the most part, BUT Diagnosing shit like this would be easy if I could take it to a mechanic who could pull things apart to try and diagnose (I understand this isn't always the first choice, but...), but having to take it to dealerships means a slow down AND they have to protect themselves, which doesn't help the owner of the car.

There are also things that, having grown up rebuilding cars, I hear and know what they are, but can't convince others of that. There's a lot of "We have another Camaro on the lot that makes that same noise". It's frustrating sometimes.
