2010 Chevrolet Camaro transmission problems fixed

General Motors has figured out what was causing failures of some 6-speed manual transmissions on its 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS models, but the automaker is keeping it secret, said a GM spokesman.

The GM man said the failures of the output shaft occurred during standing-start hard acceleration, with the engine revved beyond 5000 rpm. He said about a dozen owners reported problems.

GM says Camaro SS production at the Oshawa plant in Ontario was continuing, but a few cars were being held for inspection to make sure the problem had been resolved. A recall will not be conducted.

1. Transmission output shaft broke when using “Launch control mode” see owners manual for details. Launch control holds engine RPM to 4600 untill cluth is released and prevents over spinning of rear tires to give you the quistest launch possible. My transmission broke on frist attempt. hoping new transmission will be stronger.

2. I have had my 2SS/RS for 3 weeks. I have not used the launch control but have the following issue. When going over bumps in the road at any RPM the shifter bounce a lot. The dealer stated that this is normal.

   My concern is that it feels like the tranny/engine mounts are too soft or loose but they check all of them. With the independent rear and only 600 miles I feel it should be a lot tighter.

   Does anyone else experience this? Could this flex/movement be the cause of failure?

   Thanks in advance,
   MJR
