Z06 Back Home....Damage Report Inside ==>
Got my car back Wednesday, below is the report from the dealer. I posted the problem HERE. I will say the dealer treated me great, and my car had a little under 3 miles added to it when I got it back (even though the reciept says different)...still 3 miles is acceptable for a test drive to me....
Just thought I'd share, and for those of you in Houston, these guys get a :thumbs: on this go round....

Change your fluid after about 5K miles.
I had a rebuild on my tranny and changed the fluid after 9k and it looked real dark with alot of particles in it.

I had the same thing done to mine last year, it seems to shift much better than it ever did before. :D:
I'm glad to hear you got yours taken care of. :yesnod:

Quin,
I've got a problem with my '01 that sounds a little different than yours. I am having problems shifting into 4th gear following a full-throttle run in 3rd. If i try to shift too fast, 4th gear won't engage, the gears grind and the motor revs to redline. Was your problem similar prior to getting stuck in 4th gear?
Christian

Christian,
I would have trouble getting it into 3rd.....it was like a gate was shut....I would try 2 or 3 times and give up...put it on 4th and coast down the track....pretty frustrating. I haven't been back yet to see how it will act now, but it seems easier than before to get it into gear....

Quin,
Thanks for the additional info. Sounds like my problem is similar. I can't get mine into 4th, almost like the gate won't open fast enough for the shift. If i shift sloooooooowly, it will go in. Not too good for racing though. :mad

I've only JUST turned 6k miles, Quin. I can't believe something could have broken already. Now if i can just figure out a way to get them to only drive my car for 3 miles for testing as they did on yours. When i had my '97 coupe i brought it in because it kept popping out of gear and reverse had completely gone away. When i got the car back it had been driven about 45 miles!!! :cuss :cuss
