Exclamation 1st Gear Popping into Neutral during WOT

Hi everyone,

I just picked up a 2018 Camaro 2SS 6-speed with only 6500 miles. Excellent condition, absolute steal of a deal I got.

This didn't happen when I test drove the car, but I've noticed the last few days an issue with only 1st gear. If I floor the pedal in 1st gear, around 3,000 rpm the shifter will violently pop out of gear into neutral. 1st gear is otherwise completely fine with moderate to light acceleration and shifts into 2nd gear are very smooth, same with the rest of the gears.

I can't imagine this transmission having issues already, so maybe there's something going on with some bushings? Maybe some parts on the shifter itself are loose?

Has anyone heard of this or experienced this? That's my only issue with this car and transmission. Just baffling that a car with such low mileage would be doing something like this.

Any comments, thoughts or suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

Thanks!
