Filed May 27, 2018 · Transmission · 49,700 miles · CA

My car is reaching 50k miles I bought it used and had it for the past years and have been running into a problem recently which happens to be the transmission like today that the car is grinding when shifting into 2 gear and has done it in the past and got stuck once in traffic luckly no accident but like today I went in a trip and grinded like 5times but happy to have not ran into any accidents.so I'm here doing this because I did quite some research and I know a lot of owners of this car have run into this problem and really can cost a life.main reason I'm doing this is because I just want to fix this problem but chevy doesn't have anything to fix it or an answer.which they have to be pushed into helping us fix this problem which can cause life issues perhaps for someone.once again this appears to be a manual transmission issue that have hasn't fixed according to myself and a quite of few people.I'm willing to take any advice on how to fix my issue .thanks

2010 v6 camaro 6-speed manual trans grinds when shifting into 2nd gear while merging into highway traffic at higher rpms. Thought it was driver error until researching the problem. Turns out many people are having the same issue and it is said to be that the stock brass synchros in the manual transmissions are at fault.

I have taken this vehicle in several times for loss of power while driving on the freeway. In addition to the vehicle losing power, reduced speed vehicle dropped from 60 MPH to 25mph. The first time the dealership stated the vehicles computer had 5 error messages & just needed to be reset. The second time occurred a couple of months later. I addressed the manufacturer & dealership manager...they said nothing could be done. They reset the computer again, after the 3rd incident almost caused me to have an accident the dealership provided me a rental & thoroughly inspected the vehicle to diagnose the issues. The vehicle was also making a grinding noise between 20-30mph between 2nd & 3rd gear. The vehicle has only been serviced by an authorized gm dealership since I purchased it. This time the service manager said the catalytic converter was the main culprit, however the vehicle was almost entirely void of oil....this was in between the manufacturer recommended oil change interval- apprx had driven in 4700 miles the grinding noise was said to be due to lack of oil but no oil leak was detected. I researched this issue in several auto forums & discovered that the high output 3.6 liter v6 engines had a known problem for burning oil & causing the engine to wear & breakdown prematurely. Dealer advised me that I would need to take the vehicle in every 1000 miles to check how quickly the oil was burning in between oil changes. They confirmed that if indeed it was burning oil they would replace the engine under warranty. I believe this to be very dangerous, loss of power at highway speeds multiple times is very alarming & was not taken seriously by gm customer support - dealership service advisor was more helpful than the manager.

Car will not go into first or reverse. Shifts fine in other gears and when car turned off. Took to dealer who said clutch was worn at 50,000 miles because I was too hard on it? I don't race, hot rod etc, that's why I bought a v6 manual for durability. Am only owner only driver. This is not my first manual transmission vehicle and to have a clutch go bad at 50,000 miles is pre-mature and unacceptable and costing $1700.00 gm is the only ones making clutch so I was forced to go to dealer and pay for repairs for a factory issue that caused early clutch burn out and false "ok" diagnostic on transmission. Turns out alot of other owners are having the same problem and its costing us $$$. Any mechanic driving this car said "this is a transmission issue, not a clutch". A car not going into gear is not the clutch. There was no grinding of gears, it just wouldn't go despite force and clutch pushed all the way in numerous times.

At 3900 miles, the right rear halfshaft drive axle failed on 11/04/10. At 6907 miles, the car suffered another catastrophic powertrain failure. The full extent of the damage has yet to be determined. The known damage included, driveshaft, transmission, transmission shifter, and exhaust. The failure occurred during 5pm rush hour traffic at @ 35mph, with a grinding noise, and vibration as the only indicators that a failure was imminent. The failure occurred with traffic surrounding the vehicle at a relatively slow speed. Had the same failure occurred at 55mph, or interstate speeds in excess of 55mph, the outcome could have involved fatalities.

I have been experiencing an intermittent problem when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. While merging into traffic from a stop and going into 2nd gear it grinds and is difficult to go into gear. This problem causes me to let off the gas and the re-compress the clutch and try to put the car into 2nd gear. Due to my decrease of speed and attempting to merge into traffic this could cause a serious accident when the grind happens. I have reported my problem to gm customer service and have not heard anything about what they are going to do to fix this problem. There has not been any corrective action by gm. While driving I take extra precaution to ensure there is no vehicles around when I turn at an intersection or when merging into traffic on the highway. I have read that there is a similar problem with other car manufacturers with this transmission and they have corrected the problem or are in the process of correcting the problem on their vehicles.

1st to 2nd gear grind/bind with manual transmission v6 camaro. Have had this problem since purchasing new and I know many others with identical cars who have the same issue. Gm refuses to address the issue, taking it to the dealer solves nothing as they do not acknowledge it.

The ay6 manual transmission is missing and grinding while attempting to shift into the second gear during engine operation above 5500 RPM. With the clutch pedal fully depressed shifting from first to second gear accommodates a violent grinding sound originating from the transmission area. The transmission does not have grinding/hesitation or missed shifting into any other gear, except the second gear. A vast majority of manual transmission v6 owners have been reporting the same issue. Some owners have gotten their transmissions replaced by gm only to have the same problem reoccur. This is a major safety issue as any missed shifts may lead to a serious accident.

At high engine RPM (4000 RPM or higher)while merging in to traffic, transmission grinds or refuses to go in to second gear. This has happened several times in my car. Gm replaced the transmission with the same type transmission and the same thing is still going on.

2010 camaro rs, v6 manual transmission.--veh shifts hard and at time's can not get into second gear and this has almost caused me 3 accidents already. While im in traffic--when its not shifting to bad, it gets what I call gear clash, or tech term is that it is the syncros in transmission grinding going into gears as you shift.- also clutch is intermit releasing high and causes big jerk in veh like someone pulling on e brake as you release clutch. Dealer has been grat [two of them] but there is only so much they can do until g.m. Admits there is a problem, and I know 6 people who already got rid of veh as gm wont come up with fix, on the v6 manual or the v8 manual trans, which v8 manual has a shift issue that gm refuses to acknowledge. Its only a matter of time before im rear ended in traffic because of veh wont go into second gear. In which should be address for safety issue. Wife wont drive veh now because of this.
