Look at that Esky front end lift❤️

I’m just spitballing, but here’s my thoughts, maybe some of this will help. Option 2. finding the right size medallion/coin from Etsy to produce the face. I’d get a 1/4in (or smaller) brad hole tee nut that is capable of sliding into the shift knob. I would use a 2 part epoxy or...

A photo should be more than sufficient, I’ve had custom jewelry made for my wife several times from a low res photo online and it’s turned out fantastic. They made a wax mold before the final press. I bet a jeweler could easily make something like this. I just did a quick search and there are...

Yellow is normal, brown bad. It may be higher if you’re on a slight incline. Low fluid would cause your issues but if you wanted to try removing some with a syringe and placing it in a clean container case you need to add more later, it might be worth a try. -Put the rear of the car on Jack...

This all sounds logical, but it still could be the synchros, clutch/flywheel or both. If it’s the clutch/flywheel issue it could have damaged the synchros. You can speculate but if you want it fixed you’ll have to bring in somewhere (dealer or Indy shop) Sorry you’re having issues with this...

First start of the day I wait for the idle to drop, maybe 30-60 seconds. In the summer and spring my warm up consists of 10 minutes of driving under half throttle under 4k rpm. I don’t really use 2nd gear until the trans warms up but if I do use 2nd I’m usually shifting when the circle around...

Eventually running out of road

Plastic, coated in what appears to be a polished nickel finish, not exactly chrome

Ugh…The only reason it would pop out of gear in that situation is if your foot wasn’t fully down on the clutch or you tried using your pinky finger to push it in gear. Maybe you’re not pushing the shifter in hard enough. If you force it in and it grinds or pops out then eventually you’ll need...

Welcome to the forum. I grew up in the northwest suburbs for most of my life so whenever someone is in Chicago on the forum I notice. I moved out to CA otherwise I’d happily meet up with you. Anyway, try PM’ing @1Evil55 I believe he’s somewhere in the area. Also, you could change the...

I noticed this post and it’s an interesting read. Although I haven’t researched this technique fully I would consider it. Again, it’s a risky proposition for warranty work. Post in thread 'Manual Transmission in cold temps' Manual Transmission in cold temps

I can tell you from experience and speaking to others on the forum in dealing with Transmission issues at a Cadillac dealership, GM corp gets involved more than I expected. In some cases GM has come onsite and disassembled the transmission to determine root cause and damage. If they went...

Welcome and congrats! IMO, The service recommendations are for light use non track driving. It’s almost as if they didn’t factor in how the Blackwings are being used. From what I’ve read on the forums about those who have flushed their trans early they didn’t see any contamination with the...

For a Daily Driver/Canyon Carver I think a Blackwing would be perfect. Ultimately a 5BW in manual would be a better matchup for this comparison but If you only had one car amongst these 3 I’d still choose a 4BW in manual. The 4BW has the right amount of power ride quality and practicality...

Sounds like you got no loaner yet, if so, I’d call Cadillac customer service back Monday and insist you speak to someone if your assigned customer care rep isn’t responsive. They should have the authority to force the dealers hand or provide reimbursement. It’s on their website under warranty...
