2006 SS Transmission is DEAD
My 2006 Monte Carlo SS just had the transmission die at 83k miles. After 2 days the dealership still hasn't figured out exactly what the problem is.
Thank God for my extended warranty that still has 17k miles left on it. Honestly I've seen quite a few SS Monte's at transmission shops over the last 4 years. This engine is too powerful for the piece-of-**** GM transmission. I don't think I will ever buy a GM vehicle again.

Don't just make a hate thread. You have the extended warranty, that is why they are there. GM did make a bad move by mating the 4t65e-hd to this engine since the 300HP mark is about it's failing point, but it's not like the car is a lemon. This next transmission could easily last the rest of the life of the car.
