Same here. It was pretty bad last year. I had the TSB done this past summer. There have been several cold mornings here in KC. No grinding at all. Does anyone have more tranny noise since the TSB? Mine humms in 3rd and 5th gears. It's probably the syncro's. A guess one trade off for another. Pearl02.Nater said:It's definitely cold here and I've had the TSB done last year. I thought about this particular topic this morning on my way in...no grinding!

I'm glad the fix worked out for you. It sucks that they overfilled you tranny. I was due for a oil change while the car was in the shop for the TSB. I ask them not to overfill the oil pan. I even made reference to the TSB about the dipstick. I changed my oil 4 months later and it was way overfilled. I have a 8 quart oil catch pan and it was up around 7 quarts. It's to bad we can't trust the dealers to service our vehicles to right way. That's why I do my own work. Pearl02.todd4566 said:I also had the TSB done. Initially had a new 3rd gear grind, but I was able to fix that by lowering the fluid level to 3.2 & changing to the cheapy fluid. When I pulled the fill plug off the tranny, A LOT of fluid poured out!Obviously it was overfilled. I'm with ya on the noise though - the tranny is definitely a little louder after the fix, but nonetheless I'm satisfied. No more grinding.

Happy Thanksgiving to All

I was thinking about taking it in, but I have long tube headers installed...
Do you think they would give me a hard time about it?
Do the headers have to come off to do the repair work for TSB 04-15-6?
Great, my 3650 went down last night and im also at 48k.V_Eight said:Just wanted to add, I had 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear sychros go out in my 3650 in 48k.

I bought my car with 14K on the odometer and have experienced light transmission problems, but my car is out of warranty because of the year. I think we should be compensated for dealing with this problem or atleast a free fix at any mileage.
