Lemon

I have a LS and I have brought my car in three times prior to me goin in tomorrow and I was just wondering if anyone has had a lemon or knows what I should do when I go about this. My issue has been my trans third gear grinds and pops out and I have had it fixed three other times already.

They'll replaced your full transmission before letting you claim lemon.

1)new tranny
2)try lemon
3)cant get either go to a lawyer

I was gonna do a heartwrenching little new post talkin bout how much I enjoy my cheapass LS I just got this past January, BUT.... .... how can I resist such an invite?
Well... where can I begin? Ummmmm .... ok, first off, manual trannies are "fun" - but R generally troublesome. Even real sporters like Corvette are known to have weird **** that occurs even with seasoned drivers and good heel-toe. So, manuals are kind of lemons waiting to happen. So, if you're not into the "use and repair" cycle of some motorheads, I'd sugg an auto - or if we were talking Vettes - the auto/paddleshift which is what the real bigboys of Europe have basically gone to.
So, that said........ I like my LS 2.2 automatic. I like to have fun too, but I can wind around with the pedal down and it shifts pretty much where I would shift if it were manual and at the end of the day , nothin was ground or rubbed or worn. But, then again I'm a 52yr old nut job who would ideally like to have a Vette, a real good lottery hit, and not just have to dream about a new ZR1. I did however get two custom printed graphics of the new supercharged ZR1 fender emblems and stuck 'em on my LS fenders. Keep 'em wondering at traffic lights, ya know?

read the lemon law, understand the lemon law, get car fixed, then think if your car falls into the lemon law.
