Default Second Gear

I have a 2008 C6. Sometimes when I shift into second gear it doesn't go all the way and will pop out of gear. I've taken it back to the dealer twice and have been told both times there is nothing I can do. I recently read a Car and Driver article about used C5's and it talked about a similar problem and that it is an expensive fix. The dealer, Maxie Price, sells a lot of Corvettes and I'm having a problem believing they can't fix this problem.

I was wondering if anyone else was have a similar problem and if they could get it fixed.

Go to another dealer or call GM direct, seems like the dealer don't want to be bothered with it
