Cost of replacing transmission?
My transmission is starting to go out. There are metal bits in fluid and its making a good deal of noise.
It was a replacement transmission to fix 3rd gear issue. About 1 year since then, quite a bit of track time.
I haven't approached dealer about warranty - but I am just curious if anyone has had to pay to get transmission done and how much it cost. I may consider an upgrade too like swapping gears / diff. Should I do clutch at same time?
Thanks!

As I understand it, Porsche doesn't sell transmission parts for the GT4 and a new trans is in the $9-10K range. If your third gear failure was early, you may have received a replacement that was no different from the one that failed. I would check with your dealer regarding the recall.

I am just trying to prepare for worst case scenario in case I have to pay for it to be done myself.

All Porsche parts are warranted for two years! I think you will be covered! Keep us informed!

Interesting - I didn't consider that angle of it. Do you think it would be any disadvantage to taking it to a different dealer than the one who did the replacement? Geographically its not ideal for me.

It should be covered but if not (hopefully not the case) I would go the GT Gears route......

Edit: Redundant info about the recall. I missed it originally.
