well at the time of this post i had put 8k on the new tranny with no problems...now i've put about 35k on it...i got it replaced at about 60k, i've got 95k on the car now and the tranny is fine. i've autocrossed in the car, and run it on road courses twice (probably about 200 laps or so total going all out on the track), plus i drive everywhere i go like im racing, and the new tranny is fine...if i can find somebody that can do the work locally tho, i want to swap in a 5 speed.
