Another positive GM warranty repair story (from broken tail shaft issue)
This thread made me want to comment on my experiance;
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32938 I had the dreaded tail shaft issue in my 16K VIN# range SS manual. Chesrown Automotive group in Delaware Ohio started working on it as soon as they received the car. GM had a new transmission on a FedEx truck early that same day. The Transmission arrived early the next morning; The Dealer called me around 3:00 in the afternoon and said my car was ready. The repair only took 1.5 days. WOW! I can’t thank GM and Chesrown enough for this quick repair, THANK YOU! I have had the car back for several days now and absolutely no issues.

my car is 13,949 m6. did your car break or did it have a 'symptom' that caused you to bring it in?
I havent had a manual v8 in a while and there are a few quirks that annoy me, maybe i have a trans issue...

I have had many manuals in my life. If you are experiencing clunking when letting out the clutch in certain situations that is a normal thing all manuals do including all makes. What is yours doing? I would avoid having any work done unless your sure it’s not normal.

Looks like same thing as my buddys mustang did. He broke 3 input shafts on his 03 gt before he finnaly went with an aftermarket one.

Dang, they are breaking off right at the last few inches of the tail shaft! I'd hate to be going at any decent speed if the front of the driveshaft is also falling to the ground.
So, the typical fix for this is to change out the tranny? I've always been a purist and would like to keep the numbers matching tranny with the car. |

As for numbers matching, I bet GM is not wanting techs to tear down the trannies to replace the output, much easier to R and R. |

I have on two occations in the 900 miles turned on competitive mode and launched around 2500 rpm and shifted hard at 5200 rpm. This has resulted in a solid bark into second and a loud chirp into third on 20 inch rims @ eighty some miles per hour - what a beast - hope all is well with mine my last manual was a total hot rod 86 trans am so I did not pay any mind to little quirks, it was a old hot rod. My last new manual was a 01 eclipse front drive v6 and I did not have similar sounds. around 14k miles the eclipse throw out bearing started chattering loud when out of gear in nuetral with clutch pedal up. That drove me crazy and Mitsu would not correct under warranty even though it was a known problem. That was the first and last foreign car I bought. Traded it in on a one year old Trans Am Firehawk a4 fully loaded which I still love to drive (5 trans and 2 rear ends later ) I am 31 and have owned 62 vehicles to date. What a great community we have here at Camaro5, thanks in advance for your input.

Ruggz, our cars are only about 300 apart. Probably built within one day of each other, or maybe the same day. Do you know of any tailshaft breakage in our vin range?
