Bumper to bumper warranty is good until 1/19/2011. Dealer Wants 38,500 and there willing to give me over 1k on my trade in OVER excellent condition for my car!! Going to fiance about 33,500. Monthly payments wont be terrible. What do you guys think?

dont worry about the tsb and do not have them touch it, if yours goes out, replace with better than factory.

The forums have a way of making it seem like every single GT500 has a clutch/tranny problem, they don't !

If you have real clutch problems/tranny problems go in and tell the dealer, if they say its fine, then show them the TSB and get it done.

My car was one where it was fine but took it in anyway and now IMO it drives worse, so don't think that the post TSB stuff is all that a bag of chips.

I agree with chuckstang. My car was in two long stop & go New Orleans parades. Clutch continues to perform great and trans shifts excellent.
