Default Trannie problem saved by a TSB!!

yesterday I'm bedding in some brake pads, do a 100 to 50 mph, do a 80 to 40 mph, then cost off on the exit ramp.

then i can't move the shifter, i pull on it harder and it comes out of gear, i have to pull it hard to get it into 2nd, then the same move to 3rd, then it's stuck in 3rd gear.

I go to the dealer and it turns out there is a TSB on 3-4 shift fork failure (as described by the service writer). The dealer is "rebuilding" my trannie under the extended warrantee. :party:

I'll bet the "rebuild" is only fixing the shift fork knowing GM, I hope they replace the gaskets too.

Would this also manifest as difficulty in shifting into 4th? ONLY ever happens at the track (of course)...

Does it matter if your warranty is expired when wanting a TSB fix?
