Do you think that many Camaros facing the same issue ? What are the best practices to avoid it, and is it a myth that using F1 gears (on the steering wheel) in M mode drive causes this problem more ? I had also this problem 2 days ago, you can find my thread here https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showt...wpost&t=568450

With everything else, it depends on how it's driven and maintained. If it's driven hard constantly and the transmission never serviced, then sure, it will have issues.
