GM Service Question.. Warranty Related Alright...
I bought my 2000Z in Dec. The Warranty expired at the end of December... I knew that the car had a few tranny issues, but for the price that I got it. I could have all of the work done under warranty and have a nice car for cheap.
Well, I told GM what the problem was with the tranny (locking me out of all gears after hard shifting) well.. they couldn't find anything wrong when they serviced it
Now the same problem is getting worse. Tranny locks me out and is starting to whine. Well all of the guys I talked to said it sounds like the synchros or going out.
Now the warranty is up .. and I'm gonna be out of $1200 for a rebuild. Since I had GM check the tranny and they pretended not to find anything wrong. Would it be possible to get this repaired under warranty even though my warranty has expired?
Sorry this was so long!!

I would say that since you started complaining about it
during warranty coverage, their failure to find and fix it
then is no defense and they owe you warranty service.
Hey, it could work.

Thanks alot.. just talked to the service manager. They said bring it in... Since the first problem complaint is on record and they didn't fix it. If it's the same thing then it may be covered.
The complaint that I had at the time was alot of grinding in the tranny. Now the entire thing whines all the time and it's getting pretty annoying. All of the other F-Body guys I know all say synchros.. I didn't even know those things made noise.

I'm hoping that they're gonna cover it.. Because if they do.. then I have $1200 for go fast mods....
I'm thinking headers and catback.... and I'm gonna move up from 2.73's to 3.73's.
