The Service Manager came out to greet me, he was very nice and asked the SW to get me checked in, get me a loaner car and get my car inspected.
I spoke with the SM, he asked me about the car and what the symptoms were

Notchy shifting
hard to gt the car out of 1st and reverse
gring 3rd
chatter

I left my car
I hope to hear from them this afternoon
Attachment 6492
Dont know why but I took this shot

Good luck

You took that cos you don't trust the buggers

[Johnny Dangerously]

Good to hear SS!


Be sure you take the picture of the Odo with you when you pick her up so you can make sure they didn't Ferris Bueller you.

[Birdman]

I knew they would do it for you Lonnie especially after they heard you were "Family"...... Now when you pick her up be sure to have a little word or two with that Richard the service writer.

Thanks
I am going to stop by on my way to work and see how things are going. I have some errands to run so I'm taking a 1/2 day off. I hope to get some pix then

I Really want my Mafia family to understand that I SO totally appreciate you all for providing me with the knowledge walking into the dealer for this TSB. Albeit subtle the words came from right here.

A special thanks goes to my friend Ebonee Princess. She read about this TSB and asked me if I had it done on my car. She asked several times. OK she nagged me about it just like she nags me about they way I spend the governments money. I knew she was right so I finally took the time to jump in and have it looked at. I'm glad I did

if you go have this done, these words are priceless and I used them.

As I recall these words are in JT's thread, Grabber posted them.

This is a must have revision to your car so it does not cost you 5.5K later on your own nickel.

Several people have asked me "what should I say to the dealer when I go in and talk to them about my clutch problem?".

This is what I would do.

Go in and be polite, and if the service advisor does not know about the problem, you will have to school him up. (Have the TSB in your back pocket too)

Tell him that you know for a fact that:

1. The first 11 months of GT500 production cars did not get any Teflon lube on the input shaft and clutch hub.

2. Tell him that you know your clutch hub and input shaft have a bunch of surface rust and corrosion on them because the lube never was applied.

3. Tell him that you know that the rusty shaft and clutch hub cause the clutch to not release on time and drag.

4. Tell him that you know that clutch drag causes your syncros to remain loaded with engine torque and that is why your gears grind in between shifts.

5. Tell him that you know the transmission input shaft splines have been revised to be a little wider and broached smoother so it will release on time from the clutch hub.

6. Tell him that you know the clutch hub has been revised to be made out of nickel to prevent the clutch hub from rusting.

7. Tell him that you know your flywheel is made out of nodular iron and it does not dissipate the heat very well so it has warped on you and is toasting your clutch and causing your car to have clutch chatter.

8. Tell him that you know the new flywheel is made out of 4100 series steel and is much thicker to take care of the heat dissipation and warpage problem.

He is guilty by association.




SS Thanks for that info, a friend has just recently experienced problems with his clutch. I've sent him the TSB but he is still taking it slowly. I'm going to send him your post, if you don't mind.
