oh. lol. dont feel bad... dude... must be something with the cavi/sunfire thing. My tranny died when I was pulling from a sunfire. 3rd went out, destroyed the clutch, and broke the axle. All at once. =)

I'm guessing that's why you think the SS/SC transmission doesn't require special tools. It does. To my knowledge, the 2.2/2.4 transmission does not.

My 2nd gear synchro is going bad already. My car has 15,000 miles on it.. They better warranty that ****.
When will GM realize they cant make shitty, unrealiable cars, and then try to **** over thier customers by not warrantying. Im sure if you knew you were going to end up paying 24000 for your car in the end. you would have bought a WRX
I now know why nobody wants GM cars anymore....

Damn, so do you still have no tranny? or did you end up just paying out your ass for a new one?

Not to mention the fact that WRX trannies are COMPLETE ****. If you thought our's were bad... hell, there have been 6 WRX trannies blown up in the last 2 years in my town! And when I say blown up... I mean the gears literally EXPLODED.

Seen that happen as well. And he's right. As in, the tranny puked its insides all over the road. When they fail, they fail epically.

that sucks man. i had the same problem with warrenty work. My clutch blew when i had 12000 km on it. And my 2.2 was bone stock. I never road the clutch or did burnouts. I got the car in december and it blew in march. They said abuse. Im like abuse it's winter WTF. they wanted 3000. im like no way and i was going to take it back and put a stg2 (cost 400) and 400-500 to install. So they are like ok it will cost you 1800 to take it back right now. We had fights with them for 2 months. with my car sitting there. Finally they owner said he'd do it for 1000. After two months of fighting and cops being called on us because we lost our cool and said stuff we shouldn't have said. The owner never knew all this was going on. You think the parts department would have told him. The guy who sold me the car finally talked to him and said you need to help these people out. The guy that put my new clutch in looked like he worked at pizza hut. lol.
i really hope things with the LNF are going to be alot better. hope they fixed all these kinks.

I raced a cavalier last night (turbo'd) and when i shifted to third it was like i broke an axle...revs went straight up. 1st 2nd 4th and 5th all worked fine. I drove it home and by that time the burning smell was very strong. Tranny fluid was leaking out of the bell housing. So im fucked.I need a new tranny. Im thinking about doing the quafe 6 spd. but prolly not. Im looking for a used tranny with lsd right now. Does anyone know the chances of me ruining my clutch with the fluid in the bell housing. Im worried becuz alot of work went into installing that clutch and it was an 1100 dollar piece. I will be pissed! I prolly shouldnt have drove it home but i had no choice it would have gotten f'd with. i didnt have any money for a truck either.
Edit Post: sorry I did not read the entire thread, anyways, good luck with everything man...you pay to play, trust me I know.

Your clutch and flywheel should be fine. When you get a tranny and install it make sure you check it though. Clean it up nice. Talk to a tranny shop for proper ways to clean it up. If you have the Exedy, it should be fine man. Good luck, sounds like you cracked your case.

Damn... It all depends on the dealer.. they can warranty it, it just depends on if they want to or not. All this is making me glad I have connections with the gm dealer back home. My guess would be find someone that knows someone that works in service and have them hook ya up.
