2 Manual Transmission problem

Failure Date: 08/05/2011

Car has been repaired by dealer multiple times along with replacement of brand new parts on vehicle. Even after all of the repairs the transmission does not properly work. The transmissions will prevent you from engaging into first gear and second gear at certain times. I have researched the transmission and know that this is not an operating feature of the vehicle. In addition, there have been other vehicle in the past that have been equipped with this transmission and have the same exact issues. General motors has provided warranty work on the vehicle but problems still persist even after a new trasmission and new clutch have been put in the vehicle. I feel unsafe at times to be driving this car when it prevents me from downshifting into certain gears.

6 Manual Transmission problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2011

1st to 2nd gear grind/bind with manual transmission v6 Camaro. Have had this problem since purchasing new and I know many others with identical cars who have the same issue. Gm refuses to address the issue, taking it to the dealer solves nothing as they do not acknowledge it.

7 Manual Transmission problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2010

I have been experiencing an intermittent problem when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. While merging into traffic from a stop and going into 2nd gear it grinds and is difficult to go into gear. This problem causes me to let off the gas and the re-compress the clutch and try to put the car into 2nd gear. Due to my decrease of speed and attempting to merge into traffic this could cause a serious accident when the grind happens. I have reported my problem to gm customer service and have not heard anything about what they are going to do to fix this problem. There has not been any corrective action by gm. While driving I take extra precaution to ensure there is no vehicles around when I turn at an intersection or when merging into traffic on the highway. I have read that there is a similar problem with other car manufacturers with this transmission and they have corrected the problem or are in the process of correcting the problem on their vehicles.

9 Manual Transmission problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2010

The new Chevrolet Camaro has a defect in the manual transmission causing the clutch to burn out after only a few thousand miles. This problem is well recognized over the internet and clearly gm knows about it because they have already designed a new clutch which was installed on my car last week. However they did not notify me as a new owner of this potentially dangerous defect and did not even notify my dealer until I brought the car in. I knew there was a problem a month ago but never considered the possibility of a clutch problem in a car with only 5,000 miles on it. Had I known of the problem, I would have brought the car in electively rather than after I could no longer get into 1st gear or reverse!.
