I haven't seen any failures with a Nov 2015 or earlier build date.

 

I have a late December build... I seem to be in some weird cusp of I'm ok or transmission will explode. I don't know.

 

it friggin sux, and some people have had it twice, i'd say it would happen to every car with enough time, porsche don't wanna change every box unless they have to

if the GT4RS has PDKS i will be all over it like a horny dawg

 

Porsche dealer just called. Car dropped saturday, ready today with new trans in. Pickup the car tomorrow.

 

It was indicated to me this AM that Porsche is aware of the issue ( I'm impressed) & that there has been an "improvement" made. That says something but not much. Starting when? They must know exactly which production runs were effected. Not all I think.

 

Pick up my car today. Doesn't appear to be any consensus on if there's a break in period on the new tranny or not... what's the prevailing wisdom?

My car goes on a transporter to my next track day early next week. Should I put some miles on it this weekend?

 

I would run through the gears for a few miles to get things moving. It would be a shame if the dealer forgot something minor and it ruined your entire track day......Phil

 

Joined the 3rd gear club a few weeks ago...

More deatails in the database thread and vid description.

 

Same way and track I had ! Welcome ! Car got fixed within 5 days, under garanty.

 

Just finished an HPDE event at Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant and 3 GT4 Blew there 3rd gear, mine included.

 

Can you post build month/year, miles, track miles? Is there a way to get the other 2 owners to post as well? Thanks!

 

In my case
Built date 02/16
total miles: 6200
track miles : 3800
Full track set-up

I'll inquire about the two other guys not sure they are Rennlist members.

 

wow 3 at one event, that's impressive

 

So after waiting two weeks for my replacement trans to arrive here is what showed up at the dealer yesterday - yes, the box is soaked with trans fluid and case was cracked. Who in their right mind thinks its a good idea to ship a $12k transmission from Germany in a cardboard box? I know there have been others with this same issue - unbelievable and disappointing - apparently Porsche is OK wasting $$$ at our expense....

 

Disgusting lack of care, was it shipped bolted through to that small pallet?
