Default Gear box update

Well, I got a call tonight from dealer about the shifting problem. He said that GM does not have any syncro's in stock for the Z51 transmission, and don't know when GM will get any in stock. This leads me to wonder who and where they make it! The good news is that GM is going to replace the whole gear box with a new one The bad news is that it will not be ready until mid next week A whole weekend with her. I don't know what I am going to do.

The transmissions are made in Mexico but that dosen't mean that all the component's are made in Mexico.

Kids in Guatemala make the synchros (filed by hand), while they're on their breaks at the Nike factory.
