I have been getting a grinding sound in the transmission (5 Speed) this is evident when the tranny is in neutral and the clutch is let out. This is in a brand new truck (6000 miles) and the dealer says its normal.
I called GM 1-800-222-1020 and they told me there were some complaints but not enough for GM to fix the problem.
Has anyone else had this rpoblem? What is the solution?

I have it to. I thought maybe I was loosing my mind.

i drove a 97 ex cab with a 2.2 for almost 2 years and i had the same prob. truns out that it is the throw out bearing on the clutch. i was told by a GM tech that almost all of them do that and it is no big deal.

That is what is sounded like to me but I didn't think that it was going out already.

It might be worth it to call the GM number and register a complaint. Make sure you give your name and address. If there is any type of settlement on these trannies then you could get compensated.

Its driving me crazy...

Mine does that noise but only when it reaches 4000rpm. It does that on every gear. Would anyone know if its the same problem or if its a different thing.

tranny grind - GM paid me 2,000.00

I had to call the 800# about seventy times but in the end they found the correct TSB for my tranny and they fixed it. The cost was just under $2,000 and GM paid without blinking.

You have to keep calling the 800#. After dozens and dozens of calls I found a rep who knew how to research a problem and she found the right TSB and ordered a fix.

The dealer was nice as pie. Even had my truck detailed for free.

Is it a true grinding noise, or is it more of a moaning noise?? I had my throw-out bearing replaced at 4000km and it made a little bit of a difference, but not much. I still have a moaning noise in between every gear while in neutral, but I have been told that it is normal. I don't know if yours is the same problem or not.

Do you have that TSB number.

TSB numbers

Call the GM help line they can get the TSB# - tell them your exact problem.

I had to call a couple of times.

The number is 1-800-222-1020 (I think).
