#68 of 90 Transmission by beachguy May 30, 2008 (4:14 pm)
My 08 does the same thing. I posted the question on the corvette mechanic site and was told that , what is called the garage shift ,is normal. I also notice a thud when slowing and them accelerating. I may get it checked by the dealer at the next service.

Replying to: cfm (Jun 21, 2008 1:22 pm) I'd get underneath the car and check (and hope) that maybe it's just the linkage that is jammed or disconnected somehow.   If it's not the linkage, then it's probably time for a new, rebuilt, or used transmission.

Replying to: cfm (Jun 22, 2008 5:42 pm) Good luck Marty. Your post caught my eye because my 1988 BMW's manual transmission stuck in 5th gear just last week. I was just upshifting on the freeway when all of a sudden, "CLUNK!" and the shift lever wouldn't budge into gear (but the transmission fortunately made it into 5th). I too hoped it was the linkage, but no such luck for me.   Your car has a good enthusiast network and you have the benefit of it being a well supported GM product. I'm confident you'll be able to find a good used transmission from a Corvette club member somewhere if it turns out you need one.

Replying to: cfm (Jun 21, 2008 1:22 pm) Marty, Some older cars were well known for getting stuck in gear. alot of the problems were not the transmission but the adjustment of the shifter. Some had to be aligned. check with hurst at www.hurst-shifters.com. They should be able to tell you the way to correctly make these adjustments. I would try this before pulling tranny out.

Replying to: mog8 (May 22, 2008 7:04 pm) I have the same 'washboard' transmission problem described in your post mog8. Where do i view bulletin 2073364 you mentioned in your post? Can you provide a link for that and the corvette forum you mentioned. My C6 is 2 mos old and I'm annoyed that it has a mechanical issue already. Thanks.

#76 of 90 Re: 2008 Corvette Automatic Trans Problem [realtime] by seanbgky Dec 02, 2008 (12:54 pm)
Replying to: realtime (May 29, 2008 9:54 am) I get the same problem. I have a 2008 that is 5 months old w/1500 miles. I too thought it would correct itself, but it only seems to be getting worse. Yesterday it was raining and cold. Every thud and every catch up caused me to spin....... I am having problems with my paddle shifter as well. from 1st to 2nd at 5000-6000 rpms the car will NOT shift without my foot coming off the gas. I get a 1 for first gear then X comes up.   The dealership I have taken the car to passes everything off stating the car checks out fine.....no codes. GM right now doesn't want to pay any money to fix this issue. I get the 'under normal driving conditions the car is functioning perfect'. Those aren't normal conditions.   Needless to say I'm hot about this. The dealer and GM doesn't seem to care. Does anyone have any suggestions?
#77 of 90 93 zr1 by alan47 Dec 27, 2008 (9:08 pm)
I have a 69 with a 350 4-speed. I found a 93 zr1 and I was wondering if it would bolt up to my existing m-21. I realize it will need the necessary conversion for the fuel injection (ie: electric fuel pump, wiring etc) but I just thought this would be such a cool conversion as opposed to rebuilding the original 350. Any comments on this would be appreciated. I do not believe the zr1 tranny was being sold ( I do not know if it is auto or standard)
