I am a Noob to Camaro's or Camaro forums in general, Until 4 days ago the closest I came to owning a camaro was an 82 Trans am. I bought a 2011 2SS 4 days ago and almost everytime I try shifting from 1st to 2nd it grinds. I've drove a standard my whole life and yes the clutch is fully depressed but it does it all the time. Anyone else have a problem with this?? Or is it just me

 

call the dealership they should fix it

 

Yeah Its going to a differentship dealer on monday as the one I bought it from is not certified to fix Camaro's only one chev dealer in my city is. But I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if it was somewhat common?

 

And I had the Car for not even 24 hours and got substantial Hail Damage! I kinda feel like the world is telling me I should not if bought this beautiful Vehicle!

 

Welcome to the forum. That is some sure bad luck you've been having. You insurance taking care of the hail damage?

 

Welcome tothe forum. Sounds like the skip shift feature may be acting up. It is supposed to force you to shift from 1st to 4th unless you are stomping on the gas. However; new car always let the dealer work on it.

The dealer had a technician and the service manager drive it and said with their driving habits it's fine and that basically said I was accelerating to fast thats what was causing it. I don't think shifting after 900 rpms (which anything above that this happens) is driving to hard.. I don't recall ever having a vehicle where I shifted to 2nd before 900 RPM.....

 

Still waiting for an answer from insurance but it should be covered the estmate was $9800.00 damage

 

holy crab must of been some hail storm, and look to see if you can get a skip shift delete.
