Default Transmission replacement
Has anyone replaced their transmission in a 2016 Z51 M7? I have been dealing with the 1st to 2nd notchy and sometimes grinding issues, it may be more cost effective to fix the tranny than to trade the car.
And, can anyone recommend a good transmission place in the Northeast?

BS. If they cant fix it they can replace it. Go and talk to the service department manager.
And they can continue to replace it till they get it right or the lemon law comes into effect and buys your car back.
