dealer installing new tranny
I have a 06 c6 mn6 z51 car with 445 rwhp and 4.10's. 2nd gear and 3rd are shot and the dealer is looking to replace the tranny cause its cheaper to replace it then rebuild it. I was wondering if anyone knows if they would replace it with the newer 08 model or the same 06 one? I'm wondering because I keep reading that the 08's are having problems grinding when cold. What did they change in the 08's? Aside from the grinding issue are they stronger?

Yeah, I was a bit surprised myself about them picking up the bill. I had a freak problem where a bolt came out of the bell housing area and fell into the clutch and would not let it disengage, they would not warrenty that due to the fact that the shop, carolina auto masters, removed the bell housing when doing the cam, the dealer said they cross threaded it
I had them put the z06 clutch in while it was appart but it wasnt cheap. I guess because the tranny
s never been touched they said they would warrenty it, anyway, I wasnt about to ask to many questions
Its a wide body too with 345's on it so maybe the extra traction and all did it in? Not sure
