I just read both of those TSB's, and none of them apply to what I'm experiencing ...

i started getting soft clutch. but i have somewhat diffculting shifting...and also a little stress to put it in gear >.<

Your transmission isnt difficult to shift?

SummitWhiteLS · 07-30-2010, 08:04 PM

Nope, it shifts beautifully.

As I said in earlier posts, I just can't rush the 1/2 shift at full throttle. That's it.

Even downshifting into 2nd at 55mph is no problem ...

At his point, as long as I can shift quickly into 2nd w/o a grind if a hesitate a bit I'm not bringing it to the dealer. Don't want to go through a breakdown/inspection/parts ordering etc., while waiting 2-3 weeks for everything to get done.

Plus, I doubt that the mechanic is going to duplicate my problem by shifting VERY FAST into 2nd. He'll probably just take it around the block and say "everything's ok".

If anything, I'll wait until the problem becomes bad enough so it is easily observed in more "normal" driving.

this is what im waiting for as well. already gone through arguements with one dealership. of course some dealers out there will say im abusing the car when they try duplicate the grinds sometimes. we'll see what happens

Agreed.

CAMAR0 · 07-31-2010, 07:40 PM

They wont say your abusing it. Hell the trans guy shifted harder than i did. It is a sports car. How is a quick shift any harder than the launch mode in the v8?

Mcnamee · 08-01-2010, 03:00 AM

Yeah when I rev it up high in 1st and go to 2nd sometimes it makes a HUGE grind but not every time, its odd and Ive made sure the clutch is fully depressed and it feels like its in second perfectly but when i let the clutch out it just grinds like crazy then for a little bit I have a hard time going into 1st and 2nd. My car only has 3800 km on it, not cool :(

I've got 2k on my car, and with all the 3rd gear rubber tests I recently did no 2nd to 3rd grind yet.

Problems with this trannie seem to be present, bu sporadic ...
