    Spring Mountain Curriculum

    I’ve booked the 2 day driving experience at spring mountain in a CT5 BW. Do they teach you how to heel and toe and do they have a section on drifitng?

    SRP Pedal Installation

    Does anyone have experience installing the pedal faces? I am just not sure if drilling into the accelerator pedal can go through any wires inside the pedal since it is electronic.

    Service manual shows skip shift feature

    I noticed this for the 2023 CT4 BW in the service manual after looking to see why shifting into 2nd gear is blocked. Anyone know how to get rid of this?

    Buyback experience

    If anyone has had any experiences with Cadillac/GM buying the car back please let me know how it went. I initiated a buyback process about 3/4 weeks ago (car has 1600 miles as of today) because the transmission wouldn't shift well and was probably the worst one I've driven. I was told it would...

    Could this be a clutch issue?

    I have a CT4 BW and initially noticed that 2nd gear was hard to engage even when warm. I started to realize that the gear lever slides into 3rd and 4th easily on downshifts AFTER the revs have been matched on the engine (without double clutching). Without rev matching it goes in but not smooth...

    How long do you wait after starting the car to move it off?

    I usually let the engine oil temp get to 120 farenheit. Does anyone else do this?

    Does anyone heel and toe when they daily drive?

    Been trying to learn how to heel and toe in the CT4 BW and from what I can tell the throttle pedal is too low to blip unless you're braking very hard (mostly done on a track or emergency situations). Am I doing something wrong here or is that just how the pedals are placed in this car? Has...

    Redline D4 ATF

    Has anyone used redline D4 ATF for the manual transmission in the blackwings? I'm considering this for using the car in a cold climate to eliminate the notchy shifting. I don't plan on taking it to the track at all.

    Does your BW go fully into every gear when the engine is off?

    Mine does not and its the first time I have experienced this. My previous car (ford bronco) went into every gear perfectly fine with the car off.

    Pops out of 1st gear

    I have a CT4 BW and I started to notice at around 1200 miles that when I'm stopped at a signal and try to go into first gear, it sometimes just pops out back into neutral with a quick grind sound. I presume this is because it didn't go all the way into first gear but this only started happening...

    Scraping

    What's the lowest/most likely to scrape part on the CT4V Blacking? Its my first time driving a low car so I'm not sure which entry ramps I can go through and which ones are too steep.

    Manual Transmission in cold temps

    Did anyone change the transmission fluid to anything other than the OEM fluid? I live in Boston and drive in the city for a significant amount of time so it takes a while for everything to warm up. The 1-2 shift is very hard when cold unless I double clutch—then its very smooth— or if I shift at...

    What does engine/shift adjustment do for the transmission in a manual?

    I understand that adjusting it can change the amount of power you get from the engine but does it change anything related to gear engagement in a manual?

    Does anyone know where dealerships get their parts from?

    The dealer said I need a new transmission but its on backorder. Part number is 24045453. Where do they get these from because Site Maintenance does not show anything when I enter the part number.

    PDR camera used as a front parking camera

    Is it possible to use the PDR camera as a front-facing camera when parking? I can't think of a reason why GM would not have developed this feature given that it literally has a camera in the front.

    Heat shield replacement

    How expensive is it to replace the heat shield on the passenger side towards the front? I think I scrapped mine

    Skip shift on CT4v Blackwing

    I noticed shifting into 2nd gear is blocked under low RPM. I took it to the dealer and they said that it may have the skip shift feature installed. Does anyone else experience this? Is there any way to get rid/bypass this other than shifting at a higher RPM?

    Reputable dealerships near Boston

    I plan to send my CT4v Blackwing in for a transmission issue but wanted to know if there are any dealerships with an exceptionally good reputation near Boston. I have come across Macmulkin Cadillac which has a v series certification so wanted to hear if anyone has any experience with them.

    2nd gear hard to engage

    Hi, I recently bought a new 2023 CT4-V Blackwing with a manual transmission. It currently has 100 miles on it and I got it when it had 32. I noticed that 2nd gear in particular is hard to engage when i'm upshifting or downshifting into it. My previous car was a Ford Bronco and I experienced the...
