Difficult to shift manual transmission in cold weather, along with gear noise. Took vehicle to dealer on Jan 16, 2015 and all they did was give us a copy of gm's corporate bulletin 03-07-29-004i: manual transmission operating characteristics (Dec 19, 2014). This document told us to shift slowly in cold weather, but then we cannot shift it at all. Took vehicle to another dealer on Feb 20, 2015. The service manager test drove it and agreed there was a shifting issue. They replaced the transmission, which is much easier to shift. Unfortunately, we now have a vibration in 2nd gear.
