Yea, I wonder if the 07-08 6mts have those tranny issues. I don't think it's strong enough of a problem for me to not pick up a 6sp especially since I will be upgrading the clutch and most likely the Flywheel too. So I think it's mostly going to be a vibration issue. I will test drive a few 06's and 07's and see how bad they vibrate. Auto is just not an option for me at this point. I have really been looking forward to getting back into a manual. The only way I would get an Auto would be if the car only comes in auto (c55, srt8, g8) but even then I think I would constantly have it linger in the back of my head that I could've picked up a stick shift and I will regret not getting it again. Plus I liked pretty much everything else about the G. The high rev redline was pretty good, the interior was pretty good, it was roomy and comfortable, acceleration was ok.(I wish I didn't drive there in my car, then I wouldn't have that fresh M3 feel to compare to when I tested the G.)
-BTW I read somewhere that the CTS-V tranny does not allow you to shift from 1-2 or 1-3 if you are driving in a calm/slow manner. It locks 2nd and 3rd gears out and forces you to shift from 1st to 4th if you are not driving aggressively enough. I think that is supposed to help with fuel economy or something.
