The clicking is the heat shields cooling down, its normal especially on new cars. I also have the problem with second and third, sometimes it even grinds, it sound to be just and adjustment issue. A buddy of mine is a GM tech and he has had to adjust 2 or 3 of them so far.vette79 said:I own a 6 speed GTP Coupe. Shifting too second and third gears (and some times to 6th) is very stiff. I even feel the ' GEARS ' in the shifter. Dealer ajusted a cable for the 6th and it partly fix this gear but it still hard to get it in gear if the engine is HOT. I was wandering if this is a problem with other GTP's 6 speed G6 by Pontiac ???
Oh ya! Every time I shut the engine off, there is a loud CLIK coming from the front of the engine. At the beginning it's cliking fast and after a few second the cliking is less faster, but it will click for at least 5 minutes.... I wander if there is a relation ????
For the rest this car is great ! But Who decided to put the third brake light is the rear window ?%?%?%?% Can't see what's happening behind the car ! !! ! ! !
Mine was in today, the couldent reproduce the problem. but for some reason its doing it alot less now.vette79 said:Went to the dealer today. The only thing the mechanic could do is to do some bending of the linkage between the shifter and the transmission using a very large screw driver. Just like we where doing on those old Camaro and Vettes in the early 70's, I don't find this has a solution because after a few miles I still can feel the GEARS rolling into the shifter on 2nd and 3rd, which I don't feel in 4,5,6.
Next step will be to test drive an other GTP 6 speed at a dealer and compare the feeling by myself.
GM mechanics don't have any specs for ajusting this new transmission.... They are learning upon every case they get, but since 6 speed are scarse, they really don't know how to ajust or fix this tranny...
Will keep posted a the next step....
