Sounds like you have a ****ty trans builder, not a ****ty car.
Im willing to bet Im not the only person to smoke a trans with 60k miles on it. So what gives? take your **** else where.....
Yeah you probably are. Several things factor in obviously... how it was taken care of, how poorly it was treated, etc. Then again it could fall in the **** happens catagory. All I can say is I have 2 high mileage GTPs, my black one has 145,000 miles on it on its stock tranny, it runs fine. I had 160,000 on my original trans for my white car (its in the shed working fine, I only swapped it so I could have a stronger tranny with gears and a stall).
I simple stated the S2000 and the 350Z as alternative that meet my request of a RWD manual I bet if I said Id like a brand new Corvette which I already did at the begining of this post you'd shut up right??
Piss poor choices for a RWD manual cars IMO, but again, thats my opinon. At least a Vette is tasteful. There are MANY MANY RWD manual cars I'd choose before either of your choices, then again.... I ain't gonna say it![]()
