Are you sure it is coming from the transmission.

There are numerous post about the GS when turning at slow speed there is a noise that sounds/feels like rubbing and it comes from the wide tires.

Do a search and this may help you figure out the issues.

He never said it was coming from the trans. But you are likely correct about the tires, and it is not just the GS. It is evident in all C6's.

Problem is his question is very general. Good luck trying to answer.
