Honestly??? Transmissions just don't go bad one right after the other like that. I work at a dealership too...and it just doesn't happen.

Don't wanna call him a liar or anything....but seriously if they all had that problem, there would be one HUGE recall.
You gotta realize...a dealer has to have suspicions when a car comes in for FIVE transmissions within 50k miles.
I'd be looking into some issue with the car itself...be it a PCM problem with transmission settings.

Perhaps Dave would be able to shed some light on the subject.

another V8 guy here...and I agree...upgrade what you have - much more potential........for the cost of the 5.3 alone - you could have a nice turbo kit for your GT.

besides, we feel special being few and far between

did you guys read "pontiac performance" they consider the 07 GXP to be a collectable cause only about 2000ish of them were build.

I'm no rocket scientist but I'll bet some of the trans problems have to do with the paddle shifters. A few years ago when Dodge first put the autostick feature in their 300m's & Intrepids I had a couple of buddies who bought them & they had nothing but trouble out if their respective vehicles. Mostly all trans related.BTW they swore by their autostick, I think it made them feel like Indy drivers or something.I have 39k on my GXP & haven't had a hicup from my trans yet(knock on wood).That doesn't mean it won't happen in the future-BUT-I do not use this feature. I've never been a fan of the paddle shifters.
