2014 camaro V6 manual shift not smooth
Hey Everybody
l have just bought a new 2014 camaro V6/RS Manual a month ago .. out of my state i have been wanting this forever .. now i am very disappointed because it doesn't shift smooth .. sometimes grind at 3rd and make a click sound on 2nd and 1st gear ... i have been driving manual all my life, but not a brand new one .. Car has only 1100 miles and still on breaking in process .. so is it because its on break in period ? or some thing wrong with the Gear .. Please help :( |

Lots of results in this thread. I had the same problem with my brother's v6 the first time I drove it. The tranny was cold and I missed 2nd and heard that horrible grinding sound (I assume this is similar to what you're experiencing, it's just rough to shift even if you don't get that noise). I haven't drove his car much since, but my SS has about 22k miles on it and I picked it up when it had about 12k on it. I never had too many issues unless the tranny was cold. I think it's generally just part of the break in process, is yours worse when the tranny hasn't gotten warm? |

The V6 Camaro has the Aisin AY6 manual transmission and it is more prone to shift problems when cold. There have been a number of forum entries about shift problems with it.
Keep in mind that the V8 Camaros get a variant of the Tremec TR6060 transmission and it is completely different than the AY6. Not all advice for the TR6060 is applicable to the AY6. |

I hear the click too on my wife's 2014 RS.. 2nd sometimes is hard to go in when I'm turning corners.. But other than that it's a solid manual.. I enjoy driving her car.. My SS is an auto.. But many other cars click in other gears besides reverse too

Change the transmission fluid to a high quality 75w90 oil. I recommend Redline. Buy it off amazon or something. It makes a world of difference.

Mine clicks or clunks a bit going into 2nd, but it is getting a little better. I'm at 2100 miles.

Thank you All .. i will let the dealership look at it Wednesday and go from there ... the car just hit 1500 miles and still have the problem .. i thought from break in process but its not doing any better .. not all the time but 60% does that .. its really weird .. and pissing me off .. saving all this time for this car that i like and spending 35000$ and not enjoy it what a shame ..

Why did this end up in the 6th gen section?
