Broke my trans coming home from palatine.

Dealer just called and said it's done. I'll be there this afternoon, hopefully its fixed properly. I never had any issues with that trans until this happened.

Awesome news.......Please let us know what the dealer says caused or was the failure.

Hope it's all good!

Left the dealer went about 1/2 mile and took it back. It shifts fine throughout the gears but the shifter itself now has a ton of play in it. Neutral has more play then before and when it's in gear it feels like it's in neutral. All of the SS camaros on the lot are automatics so I have nothing to compare it to. They got the service manager involved and they're gonna keep it until it's right. This sucks......

If someone with a manual SS wouldn't mind stopping at Gary Lang and letting their trans guy and Chris the service writer feel how stiff/tight the shifter should be I'd appreciate it. I'm so frustrated right now....

Yes, it's tight. I can come up there after I pick my boy up from daycare. Probably could be there by 4:45pm.

Wow! Dan your really the best! Good luck to you guys. The shifter is definitely tight, it doesn't have any free play. Keep us posted

thats really cool of you Dan to stop up there.

It's what we do for eachother, right!? It's no problem at all.

Dealer just called and said they found a cracked nylon sleeve on one of the shift forks. Part is on order. Dan thanks again for your offer to go over there but they said don't worry about it for now. They're pretty sure that's what the cause is. I'll keep everyone posted.

Ok, no problem, anytime. Just let me know.

Just came from dealer and was told the wrong parts showed up today. Now I'm looking at the end of the week before I get it back. And that's if this is the correct fix. I spoke with a viper tech (same transmission) and he said when vipers come in with trans issues they just swap them with a new one. If these new parts are not the fix for the curren problem I want a new trans. The people at my dealership have been very nice and courteous so far but I want my car back and I want it right. The longer it sits there the more chances it has of getting door dings, scratches etc...... The paint and body on this car were perfect when it went in. I'm afraid of what I may find when it comes home.

Update: apparently GMs parts depot in Chicago had the wrong parts in the right bins for my car. They are in the process of trying to get that straightened out. In the meantime my dealer put a T-56 sleeve/bushings etc in my car in order to get it back together and out of the bay. The good news is that did fix the shifter play and I went and picked up my car. Bad news is I still have to wait for the t-6060 parts to show up and take it back in again for the swap.
