The good news is, the dealer said theres nothing wrong with my tranny and its most likely the servos breaking in, the tech went through all the tests to check the tranny and passed all of them (Also found out he used to do some pro stock driving, so i think he might know what hes talking about). they also checked the tranny fluid level and topped it off, and i have documentation stating that i thought there was a problem just in case there ever becomes a problem and they say "Why didnt you have this looked at before?" And i dont know what, but its shifting fine... wonder if the fluid was lower then they told me....
Now for the bad news.... keep in mind now that I bought an extended bumper to bumper.... I asked the tech what he thought about the CAGS eliminator and a short throw shifter. with the CAGS he said personally he thinks that it was the biggest peice of s**t thing GM has ever done and he sees nothing wrong with it and has serviced trannys with 200K that have the eliminator installed and the eliminator never gave the tranny any problems, but... BUT he said that his service manager DOES NOT like to see them and if he sees one on, he'll deny the work... so my guy said just take it off, or give him the heads up so he can take it of pronto... oh but wait... THERES MORE... I asked him about the short throw shifter and he said that, that is another mod that his service manager DOES NOT like.. he said that if something goes wrong, that they might fix it the first time, but if it happens again, they'll deny the claim. now he did say that the firehawks and SS's did have short throws installed by SLP and those were covered, so he said that if SLP makes one and I have SLP put it on (but i cant cause they closed their install center) or have them put it on, then i'll be ok.... the problem is that SLP dont make one for the GTO.... so i guess i wount be getting a short throw anytime soon....URGH......
Cant wait to see what they say when they see i put on the K&N filtercharger!
