Has anyone else snaped thier output shaft off? It happened to me yesterday. I just pulled away from a stop sign in first with about half throttle and bang it broke. Now i'm waiting on parts.

Vash · 06-29-2009, 05:21 PM

Details on your car?

Did it give at a ujoint or on the bar?

hiller72 · 06-29-2009, 05:49 PM

2010 2ss/rs 6 spd totaly stock 300kms. What do you mean ujoint or bar?

camaro5 · 06-29-2009, 05:59 PM

The tranny output shaft, not the driveshaft.

it happened to me Saturday night~ The dealer says that there is a problem with the steel on the output shaft not being properly hardened. GM knows about it and is sending replacements as they break.

It feels like I'm using this smiley an awful lot recently.

AMERICANMADE · 06-29-2009, 06:14 PM

Have not heard that one. Anyone know if this is a valid fact, or just a dealer smoothing things over?

Way to be PRO-active GM.

havn't heard anything but if it is true it will make me think twice about installing my Torque Converter until its resolved.

This is a manual so if it is an 'issue' maybe it is on the m6 only....?

It suppose to be on the M6 only as far as i know.

*GTAHVIT* · 06-29-2009, 06:24 PM

Nothing from GM yet.

I'm reserving judgement. 2 cars with this problem is too small of a sample to be sure.

But we'll keep our eyes on it. Interesting to see what comes of it.

69 Hugger · 06-29-2009, 06:27 PM

I think vash was asking did you break the shaft/bar on the IRS that goes to the wheel, you can see the bar/shaft in this pic. Sorry to see this happen to your car,sucks

The dealer showed me a p.i. from GM that adviced them of the problem that may accure. and how diagnose it. So that tells me thay know about it.

Interesting to see how this one plays out.

Thanks,

The output shaft in the trans between driveshaft and the end of the trans.

Dano · 06-29-2009, 06:45 PM

This steel not harding properly happened to me with my 04 GTO 2 days after I bought it. A fork on the pressure plate bent and that was the excuse for it also.

That sucks dude, I hope they get your car fixed soon.

Ject · 06-29-2009, 06:54 PM

I will ask if thay will give me a copy .

Steve1968LS2 · 06-29-2009, 06:58 PM

If it's the 31-spline output shaft in the trans then it's not really the fault of GM but rather of Tremec (who makes the TR-6060)

I have the same trans in my '68 Camaro and the shaft has held up fine.. although it's the aftermerket (T56 Magnum) version.

Hope we don't snap the one on our new 2010 SS..
