so i was thinking we should get everyone together and send our complaints to gm, and lawyers so we can get this transmission built the right way

That is what should be done, but I don't think we would get very far.... it took along time for the 3100/60* V6 lawsuit to be recognized and that was a bigger issue than a mismatched weak trans.

I wish they would have engineered the car better...beef up the trans a bit more and pass the extra 1-2K on to the customer.

bigalnash, just trade in your car already.

two problems. First most people here have mods to their cars meaning they are putting more power through the transmittion. Second, car engineers constantly put under powered trans in cars. For example, the Taurus SHO, both the new one and old ones blow trannys

so how can we fight back?

We can't, GM put this tranny in knowing it's capabilities. Manufactures never plan to have cars modified, so they scrape by with what they can. All we can do is just beef up the tranny ourselves.

You want a bullet proof transmission?

When mine breaks - ************ - I'll get a TEP built one, after Gm covers it. Go cry yourself to sleep again tonight

We're talking GM here. Not Lexus or BMW or MBZ. We fully know the level of GM customer satisfaction...in other words they won't be doing squat about it. Warranty while you can, aftermarket strengthened one if you want it to last under power. It's a half *** engineered car...that we love, most of the time.

Alright...So go buy a Toyota, and when you wind up in a ditch because of the poorly designed accelerator pedal, you'll be wishing you'd kept your weak-trannied W-body.

BTW- Do you have a trannycooler?

Ok so you want to bash toyota but tell me this, would any of the big three do a total shout down to fix the problem so they can get the parts out to the people? That would be a big fat NO! I am a supplier to the auto industry and i can tell you that the quality for the big three is no were near the imports (yes we also supply them also). When there is a problem the foreman will not stop the press because it comes down to quantity. I see crap go out the doors all the time. Now if that was for the import side they get the problem fix asap cause they know they will not deal with crap being shipped to them. Not to mention the customer service is way better.

Now don't get me wrong i love my car but gm will not even fix the trans rite the first time. they knowingly put an inferior part in our cars and hope that our warranty runs out first. Why do you think that they cost so much so they can cover the cost of fixing it. Hell it would have cost less to do it rite the first time. Just like them to be cheap and try to make a profit. And as for a recall it has to become a safety issue. Say if you were driving down the road and it were to lock up at 65-75mph it could cause loss of life accident then it would be recalled. Now it may be covered under the lemon law as it is a problem that continually has to be repaired. If you have had it repaired 3 times i would look into it.
