Can I say it now?
FK PORSCHE and their disposable car attitude at the moment. The fact you can't even see these parts in the PET and order them individually, same on the pdk, to allow for repair is bs. I mean stuff fails. Parts break. You know what? Allow parts to fix. Thanks guys like matt keep these damn things running because Porsche doesn't seem to give a sht any more.
Rant over.

I have never had an issue with the new transmission. Its actually been quite an amazing gearbox in my experience. I would also never tell someone to avoid a GT4 because of the transmission. In fact the gearbox is what I love most about the car. People will complain about the ratios, but I think much of it is overblown. I think many times people are just looking for reasons to mod. Could they have made changes with the new 718? Sure, but that is the case with any car.

Dealer ordered the transmission and will notify me after it arrives for the big surgery day maybe I can sue them if the new transmission is worse when I never had issues to begin with

I have concentrated an awful lot of making sure that I really push the clutch down when shifting into 2nd, along with pulling the gear lever over towards the left of the gate when shifting.
This, seems to have "fixed" my 1st to 2nd grind for now.

Just dropped my car off for transmission recall, hopefully they won’t scan my ECU

Just got my transmission installed. It only took 1 day! Transmission feels smooth and neat. No grinding like some have reported, but will have to keep driving to see.
Make me want to get headers....
anyways, they printed the wrong invoice initially and had the freight cost on it. Over $1400 just for the freight... Porsche is paying a lot for this recall....

It'll take 4 days to do the job they are at least throwing in the alignment for free

Picking up the car today they wouldn’t align the car to my specs instead they are aligning the car to whatever god forsaken ‘factory specs’ mandated to be

Also did someone post it anything before about the transmission warranty? Is the transmission warrantied beyond the 4/50k standard now?

Car drives really well but now the dealership knows how stock the car is...
