Roll Pin gone agen!

Well it seems like I happen to have a car with more trans problums then most cobalts put togather.

As some might remember i think i was the first or close to being the first 2006 SS/SC to blow the trans a while back but i later found out it was the roll pin in the linkige.

well its happend agen and agen and agen(sp?)

while cruzin down I-75 friday night i drop down in to 4th to pass a truck, when i pop off the clutch the tach swings over and the cars doesnt go any wear so i start to freek.

i try all the other gears and i can only get 2nd and 4th so i drive the car home and to work and back all fuckin weekend with 2nd and 4th due to the lack of a 2nd car.

it was one of the scaryist things i've ever had happen to me while in a car, when all of a sudden you cant get power to the ground.

its in the dealer as of 8am today for the 5TH ROLL PIN!!!!!!!!!!!

isnt that total bull shit!!!!!!!!!

any ideas on what might be causeing it?...any idea on how to stop it from breaking agen?

the dealership wants to drill the part out and put a bolt thro it but they cant unless GM says "OK" to that idea.

I'm pissed! i seem to not have my car for at least a 3-5days a month!!!! for a series of repeting problums.

rant over!...what do ya'll think?


EDIT------------------
in the past i thought it might be caused by the B&M but for the whole 1-2 months i had this roll pin in there i never put the B&M in so its not that.

I guess the real question is: How hard do you shift it?

I've broken one or two w/ some spirited laps. I ended up doing just what your Dealership is suggesting, and never had a problem again.

The only thing I would be concerned about: If you're not "shifting w/ authority" then what's eating the pin? Resistance from the tranny? Perhaps a sharp edge eating into it?

I'm assuming it's an aluminum pin?

This problem has happend 5 times. That makes it a candidate for the lemon law. Am I correct? Just get a whole new car or Trans.

Agreed. Lemon it out and get a new one.

I've never managed to break a linkage bolt, so I think you'll be good w/ that.
