It is a very interesting issue since the Camaro SS uses the Tremec 6060 transmission, which is the same exact one as they put on Dodge Viper, Corvette Z06, as well as some other high performance cars.  We believe that this might be a selective case of some bad production batches, but i guess we will have to wait and see the official results from the manufacturer.
