from the data base so far it looks like 28 days days is the record before failure. Hope there's someone out there with more and still has a third gear? Carl

My car's 3rd gear broke at my 27th track day (well, 18th but my wife and I shared the car for 9 of those, so it's equivalent to a single driver's 27 track days). January 2016 build.

Supposedly the new transaxle will be here next week (which would mean only a ~2 week wait)

Is there a pattern in terms of production date or site?

So far this year 23 track days. Currently 11,300 miles.
Two more days to go at the Glen next week.
So far - zero issues.

Mid-March '16 build.
Last year 9 track days

Total track days 32

I'm on third set of tires (Dunlop from factory, followed by 2 sets MPSC2)


On related note - I will be back to updating spreadsheet when time permits.

Default Diff issues

Carl, we have two GT4's at the shop, both with a broken/completely open diff. I wonder many GT4s have suffered the same fate?

^pics please if possible. Wouldn’t this be a warranty repair? (Sorry - I don’t know if you mean a private shop or dealer’s shop)

So far only done two days with no issue... Numbers three and four coming up in about a month, though. From what I understand, the issue was fixed by the time my car was built? (March or April, IIRC). I took delivery in mid July 2016.

Damn, yours was built in June and failed!? So much for what I heard about them correcting the problem by then...
