2013 M6 sticking in gear-
(Updated 10/23/15 with the fix! See post #17 ) So my 2013 is coming up on 35,000 miles- I've been experiencing all the standard (for 2009-2010?) shifting issues...
1) Randomly gets stuck in 1, 2nd and 3rd gears. When stopped can not get it out of gear with out shutting the engine off then restarting or pulling on the shifter with extreme force. When it does get stuck and I push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor clutch drags and the vehicle wants to move forward.
2) Gets stuck in gear when parked on an incline
3) If in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear and you were to make a panic stop- hard braking without depressing the clutch- then pushing the clutch in- the trans is stuck in gear. This one is undeniably a SAFETY ISSUE as it could easily cause an accident if I (or my wife) were not to be able to maneuver to avoid an accident after a panic speed reduction.
I have searched the forums but don't seem to find anyone having much luck getting any warranty fixes on the later models.
I've seen the Star case #K38556860 and #S1021000004 which seem to only apply to the earlier models. Although the symptoms are identical to what I am experiencing.
Today I am doing what I have been dreading for months- going to the dealer to see what they have to say about it. I suspect I will get the same as everyone else in all the post I have read- not a warranty issue and I will need to pay parts and labor for a new clutch assembly.
The only good thing is I have discovered I that can reproduce issue #3 consistently (only in 1st gear). I can reproduce issue #2 about 50% of the time. So hopefully I will be able to get the service writer or a mechanic to go for a ride with me so I can avoid the whole "we drove it and did not find any problems" BS.
Sounds to me from the research I have done is the dealer fix will be to sell a new clutch assembly and while there in there re-grease the input shaft splines (like the 2009-2010 fix) and send me down the road with (much) lighter pockets!
If any of you have any other star case numbers, arguments I can use with the dealer or other input on this issues please post up!
Thanks...
