MAJOR UPDATE!!!! WE FOUND A CURE FOR SECOND GEAR GRIND!! - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

i dont know what's more awkward...someone changing out the tranny and saying the warranty is still intact...or someone putting on an ss sticker and asking if that voids his/her warranty

Why is everyone so negative towards this guy and his warranty. I went through these same issues for over a year with GM and after 3 transmissions and a lawsuit they were trying to make me pay for a fix on a stock transmission that had problems with only 20000 miles on the car. If the guy got a fix then thats great if he believes his tranmission is still in warranty then who are we to tell him different leave that up to GM and his service department. I for one wasnt about to pay GM a dime to fix a stock tranmissions that has problems and continues to have problems.

EXACTLY.

i just wanted my trans fixed so i can do the mods i want and love my camaro even more further blowing my warranty away. people just dont understand that the point of this thread is to inform them there is a solution to the problem.

Oh yeah BTW in case you guys havent noticed your warranty isnt doing a damn thing about this problem. So while you guys sit at the dealer with your warranty ill be driving my camaro.

I would have paid to fix the transmission out of pocket if I knew it would fix the problem for good but I went through 3 transmission on my v6 with normal driving not hard driving at all. I wish the aftermarket would have had a fix for the ay6 but they dont and no one was showing interest in researching it so I got a SS L99 done and done.

Doesn't Rick give a warranty on his trannys?

carls2010 · 10-01-2011, 03:24 PM

I HAD A ay6 , 2010 R.S.--That had a problem going into gear -[ second] - And after leaving at dealer's and they couldnt varify, and i had turned it into gm and the NHTSA. cause of almost two rear end hits to my car.- So i got rid of it for a 2010 S.S,-- AND YES THERE IS A AFTERMARKET FIX FOR THE AY6, -AFTER TALKING TO THREE TRANS SHOPS AND THE ONE I ALWAYS USED IN THE PAST, I told him my issue when i had it AND HE KNEW THE FIX before i could ask him if it was avalible and if he could do. - His responce was his kits he had put in these tran's had the diff syncros that cured the going into gear, which he had done for a few toyota and cadilac owners.-- -These are his reg customers, and the trans are still working great.-- Heard east coast trans will fix them to but alot of money... - As for the member that had his rebuilt, good for him, but if he brought it back to gm for trans issue he is out of luck for warr on trans..-- sorry for hitting my cap's on.

I took a chance at meeting him and just giving him my trans i know i did. But i have to tell you hes a really nice guy and takes pride in his work. i wouldnt want to deal with anyone else, the three hour drive to meet him was worth it to me.

i was the guinea pig, you wont have to send yours in twice.

I'm sure you are more intelligent than you write, so try using better punctuation, capitalization, spelling and sentence structure to convey your message.

you worry too much about "sentence structure" and such. its not hard to understand the "message". nevermind you prolly gotta run and go grade some essays or sumting

Hey guys, I'm just getting back from vacation so I apologize for being late. J, I'm glad the transmission is now working as it should.

The price for the complete upgraded is $2,000. This comes with 1 year/unlimited miles warranty. The OP transmission was covered under that warranty and the new gear and the synchro along with labor was at no cost.

The 1-2 synchronizer used is from the Corvette.

As for the warranty on the transmission, the OP doesn't need GM!

IDEALG · 10-02-2011, 08:48 AM

Thank you Rick for clearing that up for us.
My transmisssion is still perfect and has not had any grind issues since.
