I'm trying to get a thread together so that everyone can discuss how their trans has failed on them at one point, so for those people who would still like their warranty to cover it, it does. maybe using this we may be able to figure out what part is actually causing it the most.

2ND GEAR GRINDS WHEN LET CLUTCH OUT
SECOND GEAR TEETH CHAFFED BAD SYNCHRO ASSMY TEETH SHEARED OFF & 1ST GEAR
ROAD TESTED SEVERAL MILES---TO DUPLICAITE-R&R TRANSMISSION
TO INSPECT---REPLACED 1ST & 2ND GEARS & SYNCHRONIZER ASSMY
REPLACED BLOCKER RINGS & BEARINGS--ALSO HAD TO CHIZZEL
BROKEN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT NEEDLE BEARING OUT WAS COCKED & STUCK IN CASE HALF-- REPLACED THE SHIFTER ASSY ON TRANS.
REFILLED & ROAD TESTED ALL OKAY THIS TIME----OLH--2.OHR---TO REMOVE BEARING CAGE & ROAD TESTING ETC.

The repair had to be authorized by a GM service manager, and they wouldn't take my car in the first day i brought it there and it was doing it i had to come back 6 times more till they took it and gave me a rental.

 

over 15k and no problems...not even a grind

 

almost 30k. so far so good...

 

62k miles works like a charm. New clutch for my power tho.

 

yeah mine started killing me at 20k

 

destroyed the roll pin in my linkage only had 4th gear it was replaced under warranty even though they siad the only way i could break it was with heavy shifting...

 

8.5k with no problems ...

 

bought it with about 18,000 miles .had a warped flywheel at 23,000 .so they replaced fly wheel and clutch i paid 272$ to upgrade clutch . 72,000 now and no problems so far

15,500 miles and no problem with the tranny or clutch.

mine gave up at 35000 miles. coming home from work went to 3rd gear and then try to go back to second bacause of traffic and car would not gear at all

 

50k miles... no porblems yet!!1 knock on wood!

 

I had a partial failure on my F35

would pop out of second after making the shift and engaging clutch, then just pops out part way almost to neutral without accelerating or depressing accelerator.

so long story short - unrepairable with ease so they put in a new one. No real explaination as to why. was done for 4 wks with a rental.

 

i have a grind in second only at high rpm.what the hell is that i have 18k miles....warranty???

 

OHHH grind eh. speed shift much?

 

lol wow you know me oh so well....the force is strong with you!lol.will they cover it under warranty?

 

it's warranty covered, i saw in another thread u were thinking about changing your trans fluid if you do they'll void it but if you got and 07 is 100,000 is its mechanical. and since your under 36,000 it should all be covered.

 

Third gear effin hates me.

Never grinds, but going 5th to 3rd to pass make f23 unhappy.

More double clutching is in order...

 

just get a hold of your dealership ASAP and get it in the longer you drive on it the more it looks like abuse and they may deny you. And once you get it back when shifting between gears they'll be some force on your shifter when engaging the next gear wait until it allows you to slide it in easier because when it pushes the synchros have not yet lined up and thats why shifting hard destroys these transmissions. It pushes the tabs on the blocker ring down further when you power shift destroying the sychros and causing gear clashing

Thats is terrible for your clutch, and transmission. Going 5th to 3rd means that the flywheel is spinning fast then it would in 4th causing more clutch wear

 

Yeah but down shifting from 5th to 4th then 4th to 3rd is lame.

I know why it does it... and if you double clutch it, or if you rev match it it makes for a happier tranny.


I know I will be replacing the clutch one day.

That day will be before 40k miles.

 

ok was just saying i've been there i'm still using a stock clutch but solely because i'm afraid to mess with the tranny till this thing is paid for. And then all things aside i'm going to buy another transmission install a LSD and fidanza flywheel and upgraded clutch

 

Ding ding ding.

I will blow this car up at least twice

 

YEP, well i plan on making this not my Daily Driver once its paid for

26k and no problems whatsoever.
