#303
I'm 2 days shy of 3 weeks. Still waiting on a transmission. They told me it's expected to arrive some time next week...

2 more reported in Houston area, both had some track time. Ugh.

Hopefully the delay in transmissions means getrag realized their f up and is fixing them. Hopefully.

Probably not unless somebody in the appropriate position there is reading this thread. Otherwise I wonder how quickly Porsche tears down the returned boxes and relays info back to Getrag, and even then how many boxes Porsche/Getrag has to see before one of them decides to make a production change to address it.

Who is to say that PAG/Getrag will fix it that way? We don't know what they will do.

I should have been more specific - which cars? Seems like second batch cars?
#311
Lest's see anyway :-)

If the database of failures that someone started on here gets completed some day, that would help shed some light on this. Take this next statement with a big grain of salt, anecdotal info only...a service tech at a Porsche dealership who does a lot of GT car work there said when I asked if he'd heard of the 3rd gear failures on GT4s "...I think those are the later build cars." He also mentioned he'd seen the online chatter about the problem.

I would think if your car were going to see this failure, it would have happened a while ago. You've got some significant time in 3rd gear at full power, and on-off power.
