Official answer to manual transmission problem
Below is an email quote I received concerning the manual transmission issue from yesterday.
Frank
Statement on 2005 Corvette manual transmission issue, Thurs., Oct. 7, 2004
A non-safety-related quality issue was found with the 2005 Tremec T56
6-speed manual transmission, which is used in the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette.
We are working to identify and correct a small number of the transmissions
that may exhibit some chattering, grinding or vibration in fifth gear.
Current Corvette production is unaffected.
