No they haven't. I have heard of recent issues with the Tremec transmissions. That may be because they are found in many applications all of which have high HP and torque.

Told yall the T6060 was a piece of junk

That sounds like a material flaw right there. It's the foundry that cast the shaft blanks for machining whose at fault. Not Tremec, and not GM. And definitely nothing that could have been seen before hand unless they had an eddy-current setup doing NDT checks on the transmission components (which would be expensive as all get out..).

You have an excellent attitude when the going gets rough. Very commendable. Most would be irate. And thanks for the re-assurance- I was gonna ask what your VIN# was to see if it was happening to 2SS's around VIN#6125 (Mine).

Good luck.

my camaro did the same thing on saterday, one day after delivery, and my dealer already had a PI# on the problem. the PI# is #PIP4666A: vehicle will not move in any gear:[B][/B] . they are replacing the trans with a new one.

Guys, let me ask you. Is a high HP high torque vehicle more likely to have drivetrain problems? IS this why so many Japanese cars rarely have drivetrain issues? My Camry has no torque at all

LoL that's why, as long as to do Preventive maintenance

your fine

I don't mind maintaining my machines. I change my toyotas tranny fluid even though my last camry went 130,000 miles on its original transmission fluid. It was never changed.
Sold it. It didn't die.

.... if you think that driving a Super Sport with 426 hp and romping on it and driving it like you're supposed to is never going to break anything, you should have kept your Toyota.

The drivetrain in the Camaros is stout, but that doesnt mean it's bullet proof. If you think Japanese cars rarely have drivetrain issues, I invite you to look up any other high performance Japanese car forum (WRX STI, Supra, Skylines) and look in their troubleshooting section. Regardless of manufacturer, if it makes alot of power, it's going to break something in the drivetrain eventually. Comparing an SS Camaro to your old Camry is beyond pointless.
