first O6 to blow trans
well i was pretty shere it happend but today when the dealer called it was confermed.
my babby is out of commission for about 2 weeks the trans gave up on me. 2nd gear and the WHOLE shift set up from the linkige to the shifter went to hell as well......CRAP!
just thought i'd pass this along as well as ask to see if other have had that happen? the dealer says that best they can tell i'm the first 2006 to reck a trans in MI but than agen i kno some people so the car and some other goddies have came a lil early.

My baby's been down 3 weeks and counting. Roll pin broke at 4200 miles on the dot. Synchros had a coronary and died on the operating table, gears could have pulled through but hemorraging from the synchros turned em to metal shavings. So I beat you to the "self-destructing" tranny. They tell me I SHOULD have her back sometime this week, but who knows.......

LOL, sorry man, I may have been a bit tipsy (read that drunk as all hell) when I posted that. The roll pin broke, and I drove it about 15 miles home, losing gears one by one til I finally ran out as I pulled into my driveway. Gears are shredded because the synchros went out shortly after the roll pin broke.

Mine hates 2nd gear (that seems to be where the problems start...either 2nd or 3rd). I had the dealer take mine apart and they tinkered with the linkage cable a little and that helped a lot but there are times when it still feels a little rough.
The linkage is hella easy to adjust yourself Alleycat. Just pop off the molding around the shifter and it's two clips you move up and you can move the linkage adjustment around.
Just mark where you started with a perm marker so you can get back to where you started.
