I think it is great that the dealer fixed your transmission under warranty, but don't make it sound like it just "went out" after 400 miles. I expect that if you keep hitting 1st gear at 70 MPH you will have more transmission problems. This car will handle plenty of hard driving, if it is driven as you say "the way it is supposed to be", which IMO includes hitting the gears in ascending numerical order.

well i case you didnt read the whole thread when the Front bearing let go at high rpm that kinda makes everything attached to it out of alignment. makeing the clutch that was still engaged do all the holding of everything inside the trans. Now when u push the cluth pedal in what happens? the the disk i let free allowing everything to not be aligned. so i guess when this happens to you let me know how it is getting things into the correct gears, that is if you can get it into any at all.

Regardless of the type of shift, but especially for speed shifting, this thread is good discussion. I've never had a manual that would go easily into 1st below a given speed so this is something to remember and keep an eye out for other potential threads of this nature. It is of particular interest to me since I'm teaching the wife to drive a manual and the Camaro is the guinnea pig - she is doing quite well, BTW - we do a lot of starts and stops on our road . I have also noticed how easy it is to miss 3rd and go into 5th, even while 2-3 shifting "normally", but that is probably just me considering we only have 300 miles on the car.

i understand what you are saying about a manual going easily into first, but my case was a little different. it was on a high rpm shift coming out of 2nd going to 3rd when all this hell broke loose. when it wouldn't go into 3rd i tried again and thats when it went to 1st, not good. I think you'll be just fine, but keep an eye on the clutch. there has been problems with sticking clutches and clutches that dont come all the way back up. Mine did this when all this happened to the transmission, it came half way back up and stayed there till i clutched it a few times. |

hmmm im scared now, i am paranoid about messing up my clutch.
not sure i use the perfect shift tech as described but i no not often miss gears? i have maybe once-twice? also when i got it i stalled a few times on hills and sttuff? never have seen any smoke or smelt a burnt clutch.. and slightly grinded a gear once for one sec and i took it out of gear..is that really bad? i also dont beat on the car to bad.. dont get me wrong i hit 6grand a few times coming off from lights and what not.. car has about 3500 miles havent taken it over 4k until there were 700 miles i thnk?

its not really easy to mess up the trans., i just had some bad luck mixed with a clutch pedal that was acting weird and possibly a bad bearing to begin with in the trans. who really know. all i know is it happened and GM took care of it by putting a new assembly in it. But like it was mentioned earlier there is a problem with a few isolated cases with the clutches in these cars. hopefully one day soon we will find out as to what the real problem is. |
