GT4 Transmission Failure "Database"
#408
#410
#411
Chart of counts per month, based on the RL GT4 database. I don't know how good the source data is, but it looks like 2015 cars are under represented in the failure data. Just based on failures that are recorded here on RL for the 4/2016 month, it looks like a minimum of a 5% failure rate.

Any news on ETA ?
#414
ETA was 2 weeks. I dropped it off to my dealer on Monday morning, was approved under warranty and new box ordered same day. ETA on it is 28th of August, then maybe a couple of days to fit it. Should have it before the next competition day and will only miss one causal track day which isn't a big deal.
Yep new tight box, nice new LSD and can put this worrying about 3rd gear behind me.

Thanks mate. I am actually happy it happened when it did. I put down a great time which was quickest of the day in my class before it went, and there was 4 weeks before the next competition day.

Whats the story with the new LSD, does it come with the new box ?

I'll confirm that. The new box comes as a complete unit with new LSD and ring&pinion etc. And yes Charlie did put down the best-in-class time last Saturday. But fear not, the Empire will strike back.....maybe. I'm working on an 18" solution with 255 Yokohama AO50's..............hopefully by Bathurst.

Reading this entire thread I didn't see where any changes or updates were made.
Does anyone know for sure? Hasn't one or two of the replaced transmissions also had the issue?
As they are so secretive, I doubt we will know if any changes or updates were made.
