You missunderstood something. Tapout doesn't claim 90hp gain from that throttle body. That would be radicultous. They claim 10-15hp. Its been long understood in the ATS-V community that these throttle bodies don't see any gains. In regards to gains without tunning, that is a pipe dream. There...

My 5k mile just bought example looked just like this when I pulled the dip stick out. Oil has never beer changed and the dip stick probably never pulled out. Kinda scarred me as well.

I agree. That is the first annoying thing I discovered in this car. My ATS-V did not require the brake.

Wanted to resurect this thread as this question hasn't been discussed but is relevant: What is the clearance with these Apex wheels between the front caliper and the wheel ID/drum? The set I was using on the ATSV without an issue allows only 1mm of clearance, which could be ok, but not ideal.

Weathertech sucks. The edges curl up and it looks like crap.

Curious about the same. I saw a car with a sticker that included black badges but it had regular chrome ones. I dont think I've actually seen a picture of a car with black badges.

You are not at their mercy. You can and should insist on a complete replacement. They should not be rebuilding the transmission at the dealer's shop. The should install a new unit and they positively do that. I would absolutely not accept a shop based internal part replacement.

What are the costs of adding your spouse to the trip? It would go along way towards boosting my wifes interest in buying a brand new BW. Though she is already onboard more or less.

Say what? They are going to open the tranny and replace synchros? That doesn't make any sense. This is not what the do. They replace, not rebuild.

Parhaps we can make something happen. Could you pm the vin and a few photos when you have a chance please. Thanks

I agree. They overpaid for a quick sale.. There is not enough meat on that bone at 65k purchase price even if they put zero money into reselling it. Still costs them floorplan to have it sit and wait for someone to whom its worth the asking price.

That car was a bit over $75k and I have my eyes on it now, watching what happens to it. But realistically, I wouldn't pay more than 65k that they paid for it, as it's getting too close to my brand new build cost (with only the options that have value to me). And they wouldn't sell it for what...

Thanks. I was also aiming to go to Herritage as they are highest volume Cadillac dealer in the midwest.

I did not drain the 8oz from the lower plug. Just the top plug.

Amsoil atf. I also bled the clutch at the same time. Either of these or a combination of the two made a tremendous difference. No more finding you were not fully in second when releasing the clutch and hearing a horrible crunch as the shifter pops out of half engaged gear.

My wait would be easy. I already own an ATSV and struggle justifying replacing it. I imagine that it doesnt really matter which dealer to place an order with. The price is all the same regardless and 4BW allocations are not hard to come by.

The dealership doesn't know what they are talking about. Every tremec TR6060 has that caracteristics. Don't let them take out the transmission and screw it up doing something they can't do anything about. Just change to a different oil. It helped mine quite a bit.

The second gear notchiness and just overall stuburness has been complained about on this tranny since its inseption and in its every application. It will always be there. Replacing the oil with something else helps as well as bleeding the clutch.

Got you. So much for that plan with 6 month long wait times. Seems like I am following exact same trail you took on this.

Looking to buy a low mileage CT4 BW with a manual transmission. Must have upgraded seats (mid grade is ok if the price is right). No white, black or silver. Looking for a bright color, low content car. Will travel anywhere in the coutnry for the right car. Let me know if you are thinking of selling.
