Well for those who asked about y the dealer change the transmission. The car was making a noise when is was in neutral (6 speed manual) and when I pressed the clutch the noise despaired, my mechanic told me it was the transmission and I searched about this problem and some people with the same problem, said it was the shaft bearing or input bearing, I wasnt sure but I know i was something like that. So I took it to the dealer and they told me IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, n they had to order it and replaced it, it was covered by the warranty. THATS Y I HAVE A NEW TRANS.

@ breftayka......I'll try to upload the paperwork this way people will believe I have a NEW tranny @ 42xxx miles, it sounds ridiculous but it is true, good for me tho. 
@ superslick... try to find out if you have the same problem i did have, go to youtube and search for sumthing like transmission making noise or shaft bearing. and if u have the noise like the vids, then u problably need to replace sumthing in your tranny.

soolman32.... my steering wheel is peeling off!!!! but I heard from other people in this forum, that they replace theirs but the dealer charged them around $1500. I will call them and ask, and if it is covered by warranty I'll change it. My warranty expires this december.

I suggest taking the vehicle to them, and not calling other than to schedule a service. I always like to schedule a service when I want warranty parts ordered. Makes me sleep better at night. LOL

I hope I find a reason to get my tranny replaced before my warranty expires.
Here's what I've had done so far...
1) had 1 rear wheel (19" sport) replaced 2 days after delivery (found curb rash)
2) battery replaced (6 mos)
3) VVEL bank 2 regulator knocking noise (done X2)
4) windshield wiper arms replaced (rusting)
5) driver side window motor/regulator and switch (acting strange)
6) glove box door spring replaced (it snapped)
7) entire driver side interior door panel replaced (scratches)
8) 6 MT shifter trim/bezel, ash tray console replaced (scratches/peeling)
That's all I can remember for now....
I'll probably have my steering wheel bezel checked (peeling and scratches)
I also have the peeling dash around the instrument cluster area and dash popping issue, but I've read that some people who actually had them replaced had squeeking issues after.

@Dough1397, what year is yours? coupe or sedan?
AFAIK, reverse doesn't have a syncro on most cars, so what I usually did on the last car was to shift it into 4th gear (or 3rd, since the gate on the G is set up differently than on my camaro), then it would slip right into reverse.
Your brake issue sounds like warped rotors.

I don't understand how that would help, any suggested readings?
There is a TSB out that describes the issue i Have with the brakes.
Also forgot to mention that my dead pedal is peeling.
Hopefully I can take it in this week with my complaints.

Dough1397, I don't recall where I read that originally, but remember having that issue early on in the late 90's shortly after getting my camaro. I think it has something to do with matching up input/output shaft speeds because there's no syncro on reverse. I suppose double clutching would achieve a similar result. Give it a shot and report back.
