Well, I have one that I haven't seen on here or maybe missed. When downshifting or hanging around 1st & 2nd gear in stop & go traffic something clunks. I believe it's the tranny but could be the computer, the universal, axle, the rear end or a wheel bearing. Dealer can't find what it is so they are bringing in a tech next Tuesday to see if they can pinpoint the problem. Gotta get it done while I have my extended warranty which expires 4/14. May have to let Ichiban go so I have a warranted car and was hoping something was in the offering for a new two seater. but may have to go with a CTS V coupe which crawled up my tailpipes on the way to Vegas back in July. He had just enough to gain on me but it was like two snails racing. Good looking rig he had there. This isn't a political comment its just common sense. DON"T GO TO WAR for people that have never stopped fighting for thousands of years. We can't even keep our own crap together and we want to go fight another useless war. Is this how we keep our population down? California flag.gif

I had same the same prob. had the 1-2 shift solenoid and while the pan was down replaced filter,this was at 35k mi. all good for 10k mi.I agree w/ your common sense.
