I've counted 8 failures including the one on the Cayman GTS. The 8th one was reported by moveswiftly on 5 November. I started at the beginning of the "GT4 G81 Transmission Failure" thread and counted through. Caveat...I've had at least 2 strong IPAs while watching election returns, so my count may be off??

+2 more out of Houston. One last weekend at Cota & one this weekend at TWS. Cars were delivered in May & June. Both cars between 5-6 miles. One car had 2-3 track weekends. The other had about 15-20 track days. Tires were MPSS2 & RE71r & both on OEM wheels. Only Mods for both cars was camber. One driver in red group & one in yellow. What am I forgetting?

^. Thank you. I will update when available. As an FYI, I dropped my car off on Tuesday & received a call from the car dealer service yesterday that my new transmission is expected to be in mid next week.

if you haven't already it would be great if you could ask whether the new transmission is in any way different to the old (i.e. Ask the dealer why you should feel comfortable that the problem won't happen again)
