Nice statement...but really doesn't clear anything up. Makes it sound like there was no defective part. If that's the case, there will be even more paranoia about failing transmissions because it effects all of us, not just a certain vin range.
Aftermarket tailshafts anyone???

Seems pretty straight forward to me. If it breaks GM will fix it. As it should be. Chances are your not gonna break.

Very cool of him keep us informed... There's is always a weakest link in every chain... guess we have found it in the LS3.
Doesn't sound like it will be a problem to get it fixed under warranty. The one I know of that was fixed under warranty had race track rubber stuck all over the tires. Still got fixed under warranty... |

This is why we have warranties. My original stance was that the issue could be dangerous, but it is clear that GM has done thorough enough testing to certify that this part will probably not fail. GM made the right call on this. The did the legwork of researching the problem and came to the conclusion that it probably will not fail. If it does, GM has the market's best warranty, and that should make people feel comfortable.
