1 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2004

The car has never been hit or any type of property damage. The Corvette has very loud rattles coming from the transmission. It can be heard 45 feet away from the car. Chevy is stating it's normal adn are ignoring all complaints because they don't want to deal with it. The dealer has given me a note from gm justifing the excessive noise. Website (service. Gm. Com/servlets/blobshtm1?shm1file=1297757&pubid=319) I have a $57,000 rattle box. . . What can I do?.

When initially moving the vehicle at 1000 rpms manual transmission made a terrible rattle noise. Dealer stated that was the way the manual transmission was designed.

Failure Date: 03/28/2003

The transmission made a loud noise.

4 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 02/17/2003

The manual transmission makes "marbles in a can" type noises. The transaxle was replaced at 465 miles for excessive noise. The noise is back, I have taken it back into the dealer numerous times over the last year for this and the dealer now says it is normal and refuses to do anything about it. I have elevated this to Chevrolet Corvette owner assistance but with no resolution.
