There's a couple of bad transes floating around, but more people don't have problems.
That's pretty sad that more people don't have problems with the trans than those of us that do. All I can say is, sucks when you're the one having the problems. I'm on trans #2, after having the original trans rebuilt by the dealer (that lasted 6 months), and now the 3-week old GM remanufactured they just put in displaying some odd behavior. Warranty is up in less than week, so I'm going to have to pay out-of-pocket to make it right.

So, if you get an LS4-powered car, try to get a warranty, or don't be surprised if you're shelling out coin for trans work.

I'm on my second as well, my original was rebuilt and lasted 5 minutes lol. Warranty is a must. This one acted up a little, but it stopped, so we'll see. I still love the car, though.

I love my GXP, she just has an attitude problem. Some days she grumbles at me an most days she just hums down the road smokin stock GT mustangs. Depends how the sun is shining on the panhandle...

But if i owned an SS camaro, I'd be rebuilding it. I still kick myself DAILY for selling my 2nd Gen Z28......

Oh and welcome my friend.... They are one of a kind GP's and people will stare an ask is that a V6??..

Sweet ride! Best of luck to you and enjoy it!

These cars (LS4's) are the best blend of comfort, performance, handling and exclusivity. Why did they go away?
