dang, sorry to hear that. I have very similar stats as you, no failure yet. Mine is April '16 build. Next track day April 24th. I'm wondering how many GT4s they produced in the March-May 2016 time frame? Maybe 300-ish? And there are 20+ failures documented here...

I'll be banging on 3rd gear next week at the Smokies GT event. Third had a good workout last year. The long 2nd and 3rd are perfect for a lot of those roads.
My car is an Oct 2015 build.

No signs of imminent failure leading up to it. Not even the occasional grind between shifts that some owners have reported. The great information shared on this thread however helped to eliminate all the drama. Dropping the car off tonight and dealer is expecting a quick turn around. Will post results.

I haven't had a complete failure yet but the last time I drove it I am concerned it is imminent.
I am going to track it again this Friday and I am curious to see if I experience this again.
