Sorry to hear that. Mine is still the same since the repair--better than it was/not as good as it should be, but liveable. I think you need to lemon this one and start over. Just curious, but why did they drop the engine? And if they tore the trans apart to diagnose it, why is it intact on the...

Here's my update. I drove a forum member's car (dirkbg) at the Cincinnati v-club meet over the summer and it was MUCH better than mine, so I bit the bullet and went to the dealer on 8/23. 7 weeks later(yesterday) I got the car back. It appears they replaced 2nd gear and all the components of the...

@Neveready Any update? Did you get the car back?

Well I finally got to the dealer to have the service srs system and service door latch system warnings fixed--just a reprogram--and had them replace the tranny fluid with mobil-1. They also let me drive another new manual 4 they had on the lot and it wasn't much better. The mobil-1 swap didn't...

@myfirstcadillac. I did not drive it much over the winter, but it is a little better. If driven hard (high rpm/forceful shifts) its good. Driven normally but only shifting above 3k with a firm hand and its OK. Driven easy/just cruising around it sucks. It is annoying because like you said, I...

So far no issues.

Same wheels as Novakin, but Conti DWS06 plus in 255/35 and 275/35. I have another vehicle for the small amount of snow we get so I opted for a/s instead of dedicated snows(since there were no good choices anyway). The rears don't have xl load designation, but for mild winter street use it...

From that C7 TSB-- that describes my car to a T. Hope that's all it is...

That's what it feels like to me. I did go to the dealer Sunday, but they didn't have either the 4 or 5 on the lot they had listed on their website.:rolleyes: I don't think it's the clutch--the revs fall(or match if its on) appropriately when the clutch is depressed. I'm betting on shifter...

Thanks guys. I've had MT cars my entire life--everything from a hot-rod '56 VW Bug to a 650hp Lingenfelter C5 and everything in between, so I'm pretty familiar with MT cars and this just isn't right. I initially thought it just needed to break in, but if anything it is getting worse and doesn't...

Question for all the M6 owners--anybody having issues? I've had my 4V for a few months now and after more than 30 yrs of manual cars, this is the worst shifter/tranny combo I've had. I love everything else about the car, but after hearing raves about how good the M6/shifter was on these cars...

It was worth the wait....

Dealer just called and my car is in--so 4B00-delayed, it is not! Thanks Rob, take me (Newt214/BHSKGW)off the list. I should be picking her up this weekend

PLease delete order BGSNPR and replace with order BHSKGW which I think just got picked up!!! Sorry, and thank you!
