I went to downshift its a M6 and I noticed the oil pressure went from the normal 38 to 40 psi up to like 65 - 70 it never does that so I slow down watch the oil pressure push in the clutch and it goes down to 38 and then keeps dropping slowly so I killed the car and towed it home. No noises no clicking or anything when I shut it down. Now my question is I have a lift and tools I was a GM tech back in the 90s but does anyone know a decent garage in Maine to do the work if I dont have the time? Maybe even NH? Do you think I should pull the motor and take it to somewhere like Jannety to check it all over and put a cam in it while its there LOL I shut it off very quick I am pretty confident I didnt run it low for very long at all, what am I looking at here.

Oil pressure in the 30s isn't a failure yet. What temp was your oil at? Your pressure is also dependent on oil viscosity and temp. If you didn't see it below teens then I wouldn't say you have a bad pump yet. When they fail, you know it.
