I have a 2007 Cts-V So ive read couple of the posts on here but nothing helps. Maybe someone can help me but when im at a stop and i put it into first sometimes it will go in then pop out about 1-5ft of moving forward and as my reverse it will show the r on the dash and them it will grind its way into Neutral and to make it reverse i have to hold it but then i hear a sound like a metal clunk or something like that then it will engage into reverse only happens to my 1st gear and reverse can anyone help me???

i have trouble also with my cts-v shifter,mostly with reverse.ive heard the nylon bushings wear out. im going to try a new short shift shifter.

Ive checked my bushings amd everything seems okay im going to lift the car you and prop the tranny up a bit and run the car in the air and see it maybe i need new transmission mounts i read maybe bleeding the clutch but i couldn’t find a way to bleed my clutch but i also have a short shifter and i have the problem

I have the same problem getting into first and reverse from time to time. Mostly it goes in well but if I sit at a stop light and try to get into first it can be tough. Transmission was rebuilt about 5K miles ago while owned by the PO. It has new poly bushings in the shift linkage. Put in a Creative Steel short throw sifter. Changed and bled clutch fluid. Starting to think that's just how it is with the first gen CTS-V.
