2011 cts-v 6 speed manual Help! Hi guys I'm new my first post.
Just bought 2011 CTS-V, six speed manual two days ago. Was getting on the freeway tonight quickly shifting from first to second to third. When all of a sudden third gear will no longer engage. All other gears works fine. But when you shift to third. It just revs the motor with no hook up to the clutch transmission etc. any idea what it might be, The car only has 5000 miles and is completely under warranty. But now I'm worried I might've bought a lemon
Your help is greatly appreciated

Does it have an aftermarket shifter or shifter with engagement stops? They may have moved and keeping the shifter from full engagement? (does it seem like the 3rd gear throw is the same as 1, 5, and is 2,4,6 longer?
otherwise it Sounds like you may have torn the engagement teeth off the gear. The TR6060 synchro/engagement teeth are a lot smaller, but more numerous than the T56. The shifts are easier, but a missed shift is more likely to shear all the smaller teeth.
Get it to the warranty repair ASAP as you may have metal chunks in the trans that will continue the carnage if not treated.
