Excellent handling, terrible transmission...

2003 Arc, with six speed. The car handles much better than my previous viggen, but the transmission grinds and crunches on every shift into 2 and 3. This will obviously end up in a recall, but the dealer is so baffled by the car, that they have no answers yet. I suspect that once they figure out how to program the car to open manually from the trunk switch, they will start to see that the way they handle the servicing of this new model will either make or break them. This car is GM's answer to the ford taurus, and if it doesn't succeed, I suspect Saab will be out. My dealer is trying hard, but they have no experience with the model and no backup from GM yet.
