M6 Woes Again... Well for those that didn't see my original post my newly aquired 99 WS.6 had 3rd gear pop-out when I bought it. The dealer only gave me a 30 day warranty due to the high mileage (65k) so after a lot of arguing and threats of lawyers I got them to fix the tranny.
So I get the car back, and it still jumps out of 3rd. I thought maybe it was due to my driving habits. So I bought a pro-5.0 and just started shifting it into 3rd with more firmness. That seemed to help it...
That is until tonight. I just had my Hooker catback installed with a cutout and Qtec:thumbup:. A friend of mine with a SRT-4 (stage 1 turbo upgrade, BOV upgrade, 3" exhaust) and I were pulling out onto the road when we decided to give it a go. Making a left turn he nails it, I attempted to but immediately slid. I regained traction, and control. And began to chase him down. By the time I was at the top of 2nd I gained pretty good. Nailed 3rd, right on him. Went to 4th and we shut them down.
So I go to shift out of 4th. It's stuck.
Then I remember reading on the forum about people that had the bent shift fork problem having problems with the car getting stuck in 4th. So I manage to get it out of 4th. Go to shift into 3rd, and the car won't stay in 3rd barely at all. All other gears are working fine though. So I come home and look on the reciept for the work that was done. (10 days ago) They don't list a shift fork on there.. It says the problems that the car was having, and they replaced everything BUT the shift fork.
Should I have any trouble in getting them to fix this? It says all parts are warrantied for 12months. Before I take it in should I remove the pro 5.0, and the lid? I'm pretty much stuck with the exhaust on there. But I wouldn't think that would matter. Sorry for the length just wanted to set the stage for what occured.
