Thanks for keeping me posted LS!!

Yeah, it looks like I'll have to get the tranny flush/filter done before I can really get on em about it. I just hope that solves the issue I have with it, ya know? He said my cooling system was fine also, though he did remove and clean the resevoir tank and fill system back to proper level. I hope to get the flush done soon, although I may wait till I get back from Cali so I can order and install my shift kit at the same time.

So did they tell you that the tranny thing was because it needed a flush and filter change? And that the brown gunk was just in the resevoir?

Not exactly....although that was the insenuation. But don't think that I bought that, I just need to do the routine maintenance stuff before they'll take it to the next level. Seems logical, I just wanted to get this visit in so when I bring it back after I get those things done, I can at least say "see, it was doing this before the maintenance, and it's still doing it, FIX IT!"

So they wouldnt flush your radiator, even though it is under warranty? Does your tranny fluid have metal or other stuff in it?

If your transmission is actualy starting to act up like this, your trans cooler in the radiator is probably starting to go, although your model year is very recent, I would go the sooner the better for a trans pressure line test , because if coolant reaches the transmission it's all over.

Thanks for the reply PAT!!! I just got my car back from the dealership. They flushed the Radiator, but the tranny issues that I told them about. They took it for a test drive and of course they said nothing like that happended, and that the computer showed no codes so it looks fine. I know how a tranny should shift, my dad and brother are mechanics and I am not a slouch when it comes to "basic" mechanic skills. I am not bragging by any means, but there is something wrong with this tranny I just know it! Any knowledge on this would be greatfull!!
