Tranny trouble?? I'm starting to notice some sort of grinding when in first gear kind of idling up to a red light. My car still shifts smoothly but when I use paddles or just leave it in full auto it doesnt feel smooth in first. I only feel it when im kind of inching up to a red light. I dont have a shift kit. Everything is stock on my tranny. Should I have this checked, before it becomes a tranny rebuild?

You under any kind of warranty? Sounds to me like the converter is starting to come apart, which will take the rest of the tranny with it.
If you're under waranty, get it to a dealer. If not, get it to reputable trans shop. It doesn't sound like you have much time. Grinding is not normal, even with a low fluid condition.
Not trying to scare ya, but a BUNCH of us have had trannys replaced or rebuilt. It's the shitty converters that our cars come with that causes it.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks guys. Taking it to the dealer today. I dont really trust the local shops around here. Theyre always trying to hustle somebody. I think it may still be under warranty. Gotta check the books

Hopefully, you fall into one of these categories.

So I bought my 07 used a month ago with 55k on it, but was not from a gm dealer do I still not have the 5yr 100k warranty?? I assumed that it would still carry it regardless. Thanks Jeff

Thanks for the info you guys. Funny thing is, I had no issues yesterday. I'm still getting it checked out. I bought it new in 07 so I have the 100k warranty. I'm sure I won't have my car for a month if they find a problem though

@EDDIE, I didnt get up there yet but my buddy is a service manager at a Chevy joint so hes gonna come drive it and let me know what he thinks. Problem is it doesnt happen much. Might just be my head screwing with me since I read about all the guys with tranny problems!
