OP - changing to a different transmission fluid will most likely improve your 1-2 shifts. Tremecs are notorious for exhibiting the symptoms you describe. It is not user error. BTW I am not an 'Amsoil guy' so to speak but it has been great in my GT350R's Tremec TR3160. The stock fluid in my...

Borlas drones? Umm no. I've used Borlas on multiple cars and they guarantee no drone. A Borla S Type would be ideal on the 5BW. Deep, smooth, loud but not stupid.

For the 5BW, I'm pretty sure the seats are all the same size and fit between the various leather and carbon options. There have been threads about this. The 4BW, on the other hand, is the one that has very basic seats as standard and the upgraded ones have more bolstering and better leather etc.

19x10.5 up front is great. I don't have FB - what size tire are you running up front? Do you think a 305/30/19 would clear?

RE: GT350 - I posted this in another thread a couple of months ago: "OP - 2024 5BW 6sp and 2020 GT350R owner here. I was a little apprehensive about ordering the 5BW without being able to drive it, in large part because I had not really enjoyed other GM performance cars I had driven (Gen 2...

Definitely seems like yours was cursed from the get-go. That's not a fun situation. Hopefully your lemon law claim is settled quickly and fairly.

That stinks, sorry to hear. It is strange to hear about engines failing because it is such a simple design that GM has been refining for so long. I feel the the 5BW forum is reminding me of the GT350 forum with its "another Voodoo engine failure" threads.

I've never done that. There is another thread about gearing and I also thought the talls gears would be annoying but, in fact, they are really well judged. Because the motor is such a friendly monster, even in semi-spirited driving you can find yourself shifting at say 4k rpm, which means you...

I had a lot of the same thoughts and concerns you mention. I wanted to save money and get a 4BW but they were just half a size too small for my needs. The 5BW has exceeded all of my expectations, including how friendly and easy it is to use in normal driving and even in the rain (as long as...

I'm glad to hear that my car is not uniquely troubled with it's strange behavior! Seems like a lot of us have noticed weird things that don't seem to make sense.

Anyone else have any weird little things you've noticed? I'm the only driver of this car. 1) Even though I never have rev match engaged, it will occasionally autoblip on a 3-2 downshift, maybe every 10 days it will do it once then not again. 2) The seat buzzer parking assist thing keeps...

Dude that is NICE! Get a PPI done but otherwise go for it!

How much of a difference does it make?

Good catch, thank you. And I guess it makes sense that a Camaro shift knob has the same recessed ring at the bottom for the shift boot to attach?

Anyone know the answer?

Thank you for the plug how to! Anyone else get a message something like "EMERGENCY SERVICE CALLING"? I'm not sure the exact wording - I was in traffic on the freeway. There was no ringing or dial tone or anything so I hit the steering wheel button to stop it.

Fob hacking is VERY real in the Mopar world here in the US. I feel like for Range Rovers up until a couple of years ago, too, when JLR changed their system to make it harder.

Heck yes to a Tommi Makinen Evo! I agree with a lot of you guys about the S2000s. I test drove them back when they were new and I never understood the appeal. Absolute dogs until big revs, chassis wasn't nearly as good as the magazines had me thinking, brakes overheated pretty easily, plus I...

Come on, JLT - bring out that intake that doesn't require a re-tune and gives us some whine!

Is there a how-to for disabling the module that I missed?
