I imagine one could live with it, as it doesn't seem to have any performance issues, but I don't want to. It's sad having such a nice car making such a ridiculous sound.

I wish I could report something different, but I'm at the mercy of GM who don't want to give authorization for a new trans yet. Maybe once he cracks the case they will change their minds, but it sounds like not before.

Little update for those who might wonder. Dealership has ordered a left side turbo and the synchros for 2nd gear. Parts are on backorder, with no ETA.

I shouldn't have to pay a second party to do the work that GM should have completed themselves on my $70k car. Our $30k Bronco Sport has perfect paint right from the factory. Not that it's higher quality paint, but at least it's laid down like Ford cares and has some minimal quality control in...

You are amazingly helpful. Quality contribution. High five buddy

I wish it felt like oil would solve the problem. There are times when I absolutely cannot get the trans in 2nd. That's not an acceptable condition.

My 6 month old, 6,500 mile CT4-V Blackwing is now in the shop for multiple issues and I'm frustrated and I guess here to vent. First issue is the 2nd gear notchiness. Mine has been persistently difficult to shift into 2nd when cold, but also when hot. Particularly after a long highway run when...

Mine is in the shop now for the 2nd gear notchiness issues. Mine has been persistently difficult to shift into 2nd when cold, but also when hot. Particularly after a long highway run when shifting down through the gears it doesn't want to go into 2nd. Dealership was talking to corporate...

Those of us who take ours to the track may benefit from side to side rotations. I know for a fact that my right side wears out faster than the left at Thunderhill West. 😉 Probably not a factor for Don...

Yeah, the 4BW seats are better than the non-cooled seats my M2 Comp had, but they're feeble compared to my Ford and Mazda vehicles.

@so 650 We're headed to the Bay this weekend and this event is on our list. What's the parking situation like (it looks to be a small lot) and what time should we plan to arrive?

Yep, great eye! I got 2,600 miles on the car and had to see what it was made of. Track Night in America events are so perfect for a first outing. IMO it's a better car than my M2 Comp was, on and off track.

This angle looks ok to me 😀

That's 4 hours away from me, but I'd be game on the right weekend.

Dim skies and dirty wheels.
