Gee, that sounds about as bad as GM having a bulletin out about transmission noises. They are not required to fix transmissions with "marbles in a coffee can" noises with the 6AT. Their bulletin supercedes any Lemon Law, and GM doesn't have to fix it or pay out. headstone, "Chevrolet Corvette Transmission Issues" #59, 11 Mar 2008 2:52 pm Though with the Corvette, ...

2008 corvette 6 speed problems

Written by: mog8 on May 22, 2008 01:00 PM

I purchased a 2008, and have encountered shifting problems. When the car is cold there is a wash board action when shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd . After about 15 miles the problem is better but not gone. The dealer showed me a letter from chevy saying the problem is normal and to take no action. The lemon law states that they must attempt to repair the vehicle ... Read More...

I just bought an LS3 with the dual mode exhaust a month ago. I had it tuned on a chassis dyno a week after I bought it. With the dual mode exhaust it pulled 390hp on the dyno, stock. According to the dyno tech, the exhaust seems to be worth 10 hp at the wheels. The sound when the extra pipes are open is simply awesome, and the car is nice and quiet cruising with them closed. ...

I own a 2002 Dodge Viper and I feel the Viper sometimes never gets the credit it deserves and this article does it justice. It is a super mean car that is not real friendly but will get your adrenaline flowing. One thing that I noticed which actually can be considered flattery is the door to front end profile of the 2003 and up Vipers (changed the body style in 2003) was ... Read More...

In the interests of accuracy, our region of the Viper Club sponsors an annual dyno day for many of our owners. HP and TQ numbers vary so much. I would like to know why the tests rely on 'published' numbers - instead of doing their own tests. Trust - but Verify !!! Let's see the REAL numbers. RWHP.. and RWTQ. 2000 GTS owner. Read More...

Today is the 1 year point, and just over 15,500 miles of Daily Driver Duty + a couple of longer “out of town” trips in my C6. So, I decided to share the experience and my expectations of the next year of C6 driving here. Car: 2007 C6 Coupe, 3LT, A6, ‘Base Suspension’. Use: 75+ percent = commuting in & out of Mid-Town HotLanta. The rest has been primarily the typical errand ... Read More...

The 1 foot rollout is a standard acceleration measurement. The NHRA drag racing rules stipulate it in their standards, and most every major magazine uses it to compare the acceleration of cars. Look up aftermarket performance meters, or to any of the automobile magazines when they discuss their testing methods. I was surprised that Edmunds DIDN'T do a 12" rollout ... Read More...

Never heard of the 12" rollout and doubt Car and Driver or Motor Trend use this. They often comment about their "best times" being achieved by dumping the cluth at 2500 or 3000 or 3500 RPM. Agreed that one is certainly not looking for bumps but they are there. Road America is a good example. A very smooth track but just at the apex of turn 1 there is this "bump" and it can ...
