Transmission Upgrade - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have a 2015 V6 manual and it is a pretty bad tranny.. 1st and 2nd shifts are real teeth grinders. Would it be worth upgrading that or do you guys know if the new 2016 model V6's have a better tranny?

Thanks!

are you fully pushing the clutch to the floor? there should be no grinding and if there is go to the dealer and have them check it out.

I have a 2014 1LS, and no grinding (16,000 miles)

Sorry, that was an analogy. It's not actually grinding it's just a little stiff and clunks a little. Could be the driveline slack or something.

I have heard the tranny in the V8's shifts smoother. Should I swap for that one?

The cost would be unreasonable, just told some one else the same thing, switch to scheaffers 75/90 and you will notice the difference before the end of the block
