So my '12 eng was made in USA, one of the last Corvette w/American Made Engine perhaps? That ought to count for something on the spin cycle.

You make me laugh Mikey. Since I took the picture of a Corvette in a Corvette showroom, I am fairly certain that it was not a Cadillac! :crazy2:

Those so called cast wheels are light weight, strong and do very well at high performance levels no VW will ever attain. Don't believe all the BS about forged Vs cast wheels.

Definition of "made" aside, I wonder what LS3 engine part/parts manufacture were shifted to Mexico from 2012 to 2013 causing the change in the listing? Not sure, but the manufacture of a part that was already foreign made could have shifted to Mexico giving them the nod. My '12 LS3 A6 is listed as USA.
Yes, I know it was assembled in Canada. |

Considering ALL LT1s will be assembled at the Tonowanda, NY, plant, I would say your spin cycle just derailed :lol: :lol: :lol:
So it's still possible that my United States on my window sticker means their United States but nobody would know anything about that haha Sure sounds weird to have any C6 engine declared a Mexican origin. |
Si -- mucho macho y malo, hecho en Mexico

2012 GS manual and Tremec T6060 is made in USA (and engine as well). I was blaming the poor Mexicans because the POS crunches in 2nd when cold. But after seeing your post, checked my window sticker, and it says USA. Geez.
I thought about making GM fix that under warranty, but if the 2012 models do it, that tells me they don't have a fix. At least I only have to do it when ambient temp is < 65 deg F, and it only takes a couple of miles to warm up to the point where it goes away. |

Does your 2012 model do this? My 2008 does and I just assumed they corrected it by 2009. I just double clutch mine on the 1-2 upshift when it's cold. We should not have to do that, but oh well. That does eliminate the crunching.

My '09 and a friend of mine, also with an '09, have the nibble/grind on the 1-2 upshift under the conditions you describe.
