Replying to: polebender1 (Aug 06, 2007 5:34 pm) I have the 5 speed trans,and getting it into reverse has been a problem too.Normal??? Maybe nowadays it is.When I was younger,the transmissions shifted in and out of gear very smooth and easy.This is the first manual I've had in 20 something years,and will be my last.The lack of quality is only one reason.4X4 is much better with an automatic then a standard trans,so I'll be going back to an auto.

Replying to: polebender1 (Aug 06, 2007 5:34 pm) well this document is from a chev dealer the id #1872012 this is some of what the doc says manual transmission 5 speed-Aisin 5 speed(RPO MA5)Affected vehicles (GMT355-GMT345-GMX020)(Quote) A customer can expect a blocked reverse shift 10 times in 50 attempts. Engineering has determined that this condition is normal.the correct procedure to follow when shifting for block out is to. 1)shift into 1st gear 2)move vehicle forward slight 3)stop and shift into reverse well if you are in traffic and need to reverse fast or back out of the way of a train your screwed.but my mom 73 who has had stick shifts alot and drives tractor told chev that if anything happens to her because she can`t back up they are responable,because they know the problem.She also wrote to the bbb.Well 13 letters in all.I also sent stuff to t.v. to get the word out about 06-07-colorado/canyon/hummer h3/pontiac Solstice/07 saturn sky.About the normal 5 speed trans the won`t go into reverse 20% of the time..If anybody wants me to send the paper-work let me know Replies to this message: hmmwv_3 (Dec 13, 2007 2:32 pm)

Replying to: polebender1 (Aug 16, 2007 3:04 pm) I have a problem shifting into first gear when I am at a stop light. I brought it into service at Weseloh and Sons in San Juan Capistrano. They refered to the same service bulletin (#1872012) and sent me on my way. They did admit they felt what I felt but that it was not having a problem at this time. I called GM and they want me to go back to the same people and have them drive with me in it to see the problem. They had the car 2 days already and only test drove it once. What else can I do? Can't they fix it or get a new transmision- The block-out happens more often than 20% of the time

Replying to: polebender1 (Oct 24, 2007 6:30 pm) Your post don't make much sense except GM bought it back. How about explaining what was wrong?
#12 of 24 Re: 2007 GMC CANYON HESITATION [dmathews3] by fas Dec 18, 2007 (9:50 am)
Replying to: dmathews3 (May 28, 2007 1:15 pm) I have an '05 with I5 and auto, 4WD I have a hesitation mainly when backing up. Dealer also says normal. I seem to have a new problem. when it is cold (rare in NC) it feels like I am starting off in second gear. It goes away after a 5 min warm up. I am going back to the dealer before my 36000 runs out. Anyone notice this?
#13 of 24 '05 Colorado Crew 5 cyl auto rear end by fas Jan 08, 2008 (6:09 pm)
My truck locked up after pulling out of the driveway and right wheel spinning on the grass. It semed like it was in 4WD. I was able to duplicate it again. I took it ti Chevy (still under warrantee thank God) and after giving the the standard BS. they "serviced" the rear, and it still had the problem. GM told them to replace the rear. Anyone out there thinking it is going in 4WD, it might be the rear "auto locking" rear Replies to this message: fas (Jan 19, 2008 5:52 pm)

Replying to: fas (Jan 08, 2008 6:09 pm) Got the Truck back yesterday. The had to replace the whole rear (gears and clutches) It works like it should. Actually, it never acted correctly since I bought it new in '05. Still having a fight about the Auto transmission problem (hesitating when backing up)
