I'm headed back to Road ATL with Chin next weekend with a new 3rd gear and I'll report back on any differences from my hometown track.

Do I remember reading that someone has had this fail twice?

Alan C.

Have fun and don't worry about it.

Add one more failure, a friend lost 3rd gear at Putnam Park yesterday. Not exactly sure of his build date, but I know it was a late one.

GeoJoe

Thanks bud...

Well crap...

For all you guys that lost your 3rd...was it all of a sudden or did you get some minor grinding sound up/down shifting into 3rd? Mine started doing that a little bit. I might have the dealer check it out on my 15k service.

All of the sudden.... nothing at all to indicate any issue whatsoever. 3rd gear just wasn't there.

GeoJoe

Posted this about 10 pages back... listen up, and notice the car shudder around the 9sec mark. No warning, no grinding, nothing spectacular, just popped and then 3rd is like neutral.

All of a sudden it's in neutral...

How long until PCNA makes this a recall? Or do they just hope that the majority of GT4 owners will not track their cars and it will not show up. Also, I wonder if they "fix" it or just replace the transmission with a new one without addressing the root cause.

Do we know if anyone has lost 3rd gear while driving on the street? Or has the problem been limited to to the track?

BlackRain

So far all I've seen are on track

Next week we will have 21 GT4's on track at COTA for the Hill Country PCA Club Race & DE
Let's hope all goes well

^ That will be the best test of random sampling if no one has not had their third gear replaced. Have a great time!

Can anyone who has lost third let us know if it ever happened when the gear was stressed (engaged) and not simply as part of a shift to no where. Most I have seem seem to imply that when they shifted from second to third, there was no third. What I would like to know is if anyone's third disappeared while fully engaged, particularly on track.
