Nice tread Mike.

So far highest VIN is around 10,000. Keep the reports coming!

stikSS · 12-30-2010, 12:38 PM

I've kinda wondered this as well... my vin is 9691 and I have 480 whp, drag radials and no issues so far. I haven't run it with the radials, but prolly 20 times prior with the P Zeros.

Did RPM rebuild the broken one or start over with a different one? what was the cost, and was there a Core charge?

I have been thinking of getting a spare tranny to sit on the shelf so I have one ready to swap in when I break it.

It's not IF I break it.. It's when. It will break it at some point... Car is too heavy not to.

I broke mine at lsx shootout, and bought the new transmission there. They did have a core charge, but I just gave them my broken tranny when I got it out and put the new one in at the track. At least I didn't have to pay any shipping charges. Once you have a built trannsmisson you shouldn't need one setting on a shelf.

How do u figure out what range ur VIN is? I bought mine in July 09 and am curious where mine falls in the new/old range.

franknbeans · 12-31-2010, 11:33 AM

the numbers in your vin after "A1" i believe.

2010SSRSM6 · 12-31-2010, 02:21 PM

My car is 21039. I was outside the hold number from GM. I'm still a little skeered as to wether or not mine will deside to let go. I've got just under 30k on it with no issues and I drive the hell out of it. Just under 500 hp now too. Hope this helps.

DarricSS · 12-31-2010, 11:12 PM

#17727 NO problems at all output shaft or clutch. 20K+ miles...

ssmike · 01-02-2011, 08:41 AM

Thanks for the info so far guys! Keep it coming, need as much data as possible to come to any conclusion! So far the VIN's in the 5000-10000 range seem to be the most affected! But then again this is a very small sample of respondants so we'll see! If there are any other sources of information on this please let me know so I can research it! Thanks!

there was another thread here last year, lots of people were listing their vin#'s.

ssmike · 01-02-2011, 01:03 PM

Thanks! I'll try another search!

Edit: I just completed a search and compiled a list if all the VIN's I could find! I edited my first post with the list. So far 2 groups of VIN's are emerging: 5000-10000 and 13000-19000.

ssmike · 01-04-2011, 03:03 PM

Bump. Any more out there?

blackknight · 01-04-2011, 03:16 PM
