GM releases statement on Camaro SS transmission issues
Posted on 14. Jul, 2009 by admin in Chevrolet, GM
The new Camaro SS is definitely one of the hottest pony cars to come along in the last decade, but so far it hasn’t been all roses for the car, with a recall over a faulty battery and now a new problem with breaking manual transmissions.
The Tremec TR6060 sourced to send the LS3′s power to the rear wheels is a popular industry choice, found in a wide range of muscle and performance cars including Chevrolet’s own Corvette, but the units installed in Camaro SS models apparently have some internal flaw that lends them to sudden and catastrophic failure.
Reports of the problem have been emerging on enthusiast forums for the past several weeks, usually with breakage occurring during use of the built-in launch control.
