Default carmax?? boy im glad i got a fre 30 day warranty.

so i recently picked up my 2000 ss from car max for a lil over 8k. not to bad in my book. bone stock with 80k mikes on it.

i bought the car april 2nd and well im glad they gave me a free 30 day warranty. i know i should have bought an extended warranty with the car but modding it will just void that. so no point to spend the extra cash.

anyways i drove the car to work today and well the damn tranny is slipping!!!
i was on the free way at about 50-60 mph and the car was at oh 4.5-5k rpm's. yeah no bueno. so i get to work (at carmax) and i go to try and pull the tranny dip stick out and its stuck. came out before and fluid was good. but i couldnt get it out this morning. take it to my service writer and luckily my 30 day warranty isnt up.

they are gonna take it to a shop on monday and have the tranny looked at and more then likely rebuilt. im kinda sad though havent had the car a month and the tranny **** the bed

3/4 clutch pack is the weak point, will they let you do any tranny mods while theyre in there? shift kit, Stall converter?

nah they wont let me do anything. they are just going to rebuild it....makes me a little sad. but when i get it back the 30 day warranty will be up and i'll start doing some mods. already have LT's and 3" Y for it. shift kits next.


is there anything i can do to beefy up the 3/4 clutch pack?

Will they let you purchase some upgraded clutch packs or hardened sunshell and install it for you in place of the stock stuff ? May be worth asking.

Way ahead of u. I asked today before they took the car and was told no. That they have to rebuild it to factory specs. Which is ok for now I guess. I'm still completley stock.

At least the trans will have a 6 month warranty... Raise hell with the manager about the car being in the shop during the 30 days and they will extend it for you.
