If your waiting on a 5sp w/RPD the new build date is March 9th, fell lucky I've been waiting for my Red panel since the end of June.

Good luck

Part of the problem is they desided to keep the plant closed an additional 2 weeks until the 9th of Feb, I can only speculate since your not getting the RPD that it has to do with the supplier, let's hope there isn't a problem with the trans

Is the constraint only on the 5-speeds or are the autos affected too? I still don't have any build date info on my auto yet.

I do have the RPD option, a couple of others have already cancelled their orders. Haven't seen anything from Aquaman to see if he's still in, so you're not the only Rainman. As of a couple days ago, my date right is Feb 23rd. The dealer is trying to find out if it is supplier or production based delay.

I haven't seen any tranny problems posted here, even with staged kits installed so not sure where that's coming from

I believe aqua also opted out if I'm not mistaken, when I found this site I think there were at least 5 panels with the 5sp, RPD options on order, is yours a panel?
If anyone else out there is waiting on a panel let us know.

Nope, it does not even have the quarter panel - too much concern about being able to see around me. People around here tend not to know how to drive too well. Would like to have it as I normally don't carry too many people with me and the weight savings would have been great.

My options were the Brembo/LSD, RPD, Sunroof and roof rack. I'll probably have the stereo replaced in the first week so kept that stock. Saw you have been waiting since June, I've been waiting since August.

Hey guys,

Thought I'd give an update, my update has been 2/23, and the order code moved to 3100 which is "Order available to sequence (now the tpw becomes more stable)" Here's a post showing the codes and description https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...ht=3000&page=4

I thought I read somewhere this is when the VIN is created as well, so looks like good news (I have the RPD option)!!!

PS - Go to post #132 by Savello, the codes are there.
