Seems to depend on whether or not the driveline is "tight". IE, if I back up, shift to N, then to first, it'* a pretty rough ride. However, if I've been going forward, stop, shift to N then back, it'* fine? Maybe the chain is getting loose?

mine is smooooth

Just to add to this. Pontiac is fixing an engine mount on my car. Its under warranty But what the hell??? 32k? And an engine mount brakes.... First a strut then a mount. What the guy told me was hey its a northstar sitting sideways.. hahah

The engine mount fixed the problem its still a little jumpy but it doesnt make that clunk noise anymore so thats good.

Well got the GXP back from the dealership after a 1534.00 Bill. Dont worry the extended warranty picked that up! Things that were fixed or replaced, the amp 340$ plus labor, the forward wiring harness for the fog light $299 plus labor, motor mount for the shifting problem(that really got me) it was like $450 for the labor and $100 for the mount. Anyways drives good sounds good and I got my chimes back. $2000.00 warrenty purchased to last me until 100k and 2012. I think it was money worth spending so far. I am already close to 2k on repairs and I only had the warrenty for a couple of months

The GMPP is a definate plus for this car. I havent racked up anything like yours (yet) Vince but so glad I purchased it.

I am almost at 37K. I should look into getting this from what all of you are saying. If not I may be in for some big expenses!

Well the fog light is out again after the new harness wtf?????????

I had to have both housings replace before it would stop blowing bulbs. They replaced drivers + harness and it still kept blowing until I insisted they go back and change the passengers side housing. Not sure if this was just my car or not, but it helped stop my problem.

Just a sidenote, curious...northstar drivetrains have a chain :?:
