Lost all acceleration, had to cross multiple lanes on the highway. Sat in the car for over 2 hours for towing company. Then shop test drove next day, gears work, but bad burning smell continues. Shipped to Chevrolet. I did research online and see multiple people have this problem. This is a safety hazard and it placed my life into danger!.

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.

After only 12,500 miles and 9 months, the clutch in my 2011 v6 Camaro LS burnt out. The dealership is telling me that it looks like I drove it "aggressively. " I have not, as it is my only vehicle and I obviously need it for work. They are not covering the clutch because it is 500 miles over my "wearable parts warranty. " now I have sent an email complaining about the issue to Chevrolet and they are sending a regional technician out to look at the car. But the fact remains that this is a common issue (check the Camaro5. Com forums) and should be fixed somehow.

Transmission not being able to shift from 1st to 2nd. Hard shifting under hard exceleration. Almost get rearended at lights when taking off.

2010 camar rs, v6 manul transmission. --veh shifts hard and at time's can not get into second gear and this has almost caused me 3 accidents already. While im in traffic--when its not shifting to bad, it gets what I call gear clash, or tech term is that it is the syncros in transmissin grinding going into gears as you shift. - also clutch is intermit reliesing high and cause's big jerk in veh like someone pulling on e brake as you reliese clutch. . -dealer has been grat [two of them] but !! there is only so much they can do until g. M. Admits there is a problem. , and I know 6 people who already got rid of veh as gm wont come up with fix, on the v6 manuall or the v8 manull trans,, which v8 manull has a shift issue that gm refuses to aknoledge --- its only a matter of time before im rear ended in traffic because of veh wont go into second gear. --in which should be address for safty issue-- wife wont drive veh now because of this.

2010 Camaro v6 manual transmission. Transmission is very notchy, hard force shift from 1st to second gear. Clutch has stuck to the floor.

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.

Second gear grind . 2011 Camaro LS. Six speed transmission. Second gear grind occurs with every up shift or down shift . This occurs during acceleration and deacceleration. At times car will not go into second gear at all causing concern for safety . I have contacted gm who has addressed the issue once but the repair was made with the same defective products. The issue returned after 3,000 miles. The attempted repair was. Synchronizers, new first and second gears, ball bearings and forks. Again after 3,000 miles the grind and second gear failure has returned and what appears to be worse then the first time. My car has not been modified and is full stock.

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.

Vehicle is a 2010 chev. Camaro v6 engine with manual transmission. The car routinely will not shift from 1st to 2nd gear resulting in sudden deceleration and near miis rearend collisions in traffic.

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!.

2010 Camaro v6 manual transmission experiences notchy shifts from n to 1st, n to r, and 1st to 2nd. Often times the notchiness is enough that shifting back into n or 1st is required and an additional attempt must be made to shift.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that when shifting from first to second gear at 15-20 mph, the transmission would lock up and shift to fourth gear. The failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was told that it was designed to function that way. The dealer stated that it was a part of the skip shift operation. The current mileage was approximately 3,600. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000 updated 11/16/bf updated 11/26/10.

Bad manual transmissions in the f-body's concerning the six speed. I have a 2000 Camaro ss with 34000 miles on it and my original transmission's 5th gear went out at 14000, note my car is not under warranty because of a reconditioned title. But I have purchased another used 6 speed from a local recycling yard and 3rd gear was out of it. Finally I found a local recycler that could get me a rebuilt transmission. Purchased it and installed with all 6 gears ok but now reverse is grinding. My complaint is that I don't see any recalls yet on these transmissions with me finding this many problems just to make my car ok and also my labor charges are exceeding the cost of a used unit now.

Since delivery, vehicle has left rear rattle. 4 attempts to repair did not correct problem. Also, sloppy shifting & noisy drive train, no traction control, many squeaks and vibrations. Also, windshield scratches easily (from wipers?) and vision is distorted. Gm promised to have area service manager contact me, but no one has. Seeking replacement or repurchase of auto due to many different problems, and complete dissatisfaction.

Once the vehicle warms up, the shift skip (which locks you out of 2nd gear when doing "rabbit" starts if properly working) tends to lock me out of 2nd and 3rd gears both on a consistant basis. I have nearly been hit by a truck and a metro bus as this problem is very unpredictable and it has locked me out of all gears several times. I do not use this vehicle as a "hot rod" or pleasure rod, it is my daily driver to work and I put about 130 miles a day on it and I need a dependable car 7 days a week.

Consumer states that the vehicle mis-shifts, mechanic stated that there are internal problems with the synchronizers and shifting forks, dealer stated that shifting failures were due to driver error and not a malfunction.

The 1999 Camaro has a dangerous so called "feature" called "skip shift" which prevents shifting from 1st to 2nd gear under certain circumstances. Twice I was making a left turn and was unable to shift into 2nd gear - I was stuck without power and cars were coming at me. Several other times this happened while driving straight ahead, and I lost power with cars coming up behind me. Chevy refused to disable this 2nd gear lockout for me, saying that it is needed to meet environmental regulations - or to avoid a gas guzzler tax. This "feature" is dangerous and should be disabled. I wouldn't have bought the car if I knew about it - unfortunately it didn't happen on my test drive because "skip shift" only locks you out after the engine has been warmed up sufficiently. This lockout also tends to make the car shift into 4th gear - which is dangerous at 15 mph because there is little power at that speed in 4th gear. There is a light on the dashboard warning about skip shift, but it is hidden by my hand on the steering wheel or by the wheel itself when making a left turn. The warning light is useless anyway because driver's eyes are on the road when shifting gears. As admitted by chevy, this whole "skip shift" lockout is a way to avoid paying a gas guzzler tax, but it makes driving dangerous since shifting into 2nd gear becomes impossible.

I have experienced problems with the stock shifter causing mis-shifts. I am a member on a bbs and there have been numerous entries refering to this problem. Due to the shifter, it is very easy to mis-shift into a lower gear when upshifting. So far has happened to me twice and causes the rear tires to loose control since the engine causes them to nearly stop. I am an experienced manual transmission driver and I have never had this problem before. A worst case senario would be to loose complete control due to the rear tires locking up and also engine damage due to over-revving. There isn't a recall for the shifter so no dealer help can be found. So far others have resolved this problem by replacing the shifter with an aftermarket unit and report no more problems with missed shifts. I hope something can be done before someone gets hurt.

While driving, skip shift feature forces shifts to move from first to forth by passing second and third gears, no acceleration. On several occasions, other vehicles have had to take evasive action to avoid collison.
