Thanks for all the replies.

The dealer kept it for three days. They dropped the tranny and saw nothing. The pulled the clutch and saw nothing. The corporate GM service gurus didn't have any advice to give so the dealer, out of frustration (by their own admission) threw in a new clutch and all associated parts.

It's so much better. Not perfect, but better. Before it was shifting as about a 3 on a scale of1 to 10; now I'm up to about 7.8. Not what I'd call smooth but at least it will get into all the gears without my having to make a face.

If the problem comes back I'll post again. Let's hope you don't hear from me, at leaston this subject.

Thanks again.

 

That is still not good. At least it isn't a beast to drive anymore.

 

If i had a Sky or Solstice and it shifted like my H3 does I'd be pissed. I tend to write off my issues as it being a truck but I need to take it back to the dealer and have it looked at again. I also think i have a clutch engagement issue. It has to go back for a new battery (#2) and to have the non-functional driver side window fixed anyway.

 

My wife's Solstice feels a little clunky compared to my H3, but I think that is due to the shorter throw on the shifter.
