Poll: Answer if your transmission was replaced

Guys, I want to get the total number of people whose transmission has gone bad and was replaced. Also, please state if you drive hard and/or floor it.

Mine was replaced at just under 14k miles. Otherwise, my info is the same as Rod's.

You should list your build dates...I think that would be key

Well the slipping and harsh shifting hinted at it, but what really gave it away was when the car was stuck in third with the D5 and VSA lights flashing.

Yes, Had my tranny replaced. I need to do a little research on the mileage, but would have to say around 26-27k miles was when the tranny finally gave it all up and had to be replaced.

I've done a high speed driving school with my Type S, as well as three or four AutoX'es with it. I think the power braking was finally what got to it (I only went to the 1/4 mile like 4 times, only power braking the last two, in which I had about a total of 5 runs).

I need to check up on the VIN to post the build date again (I thought we tried this a while back) Needless to say, no more AutoX'es, no SC, and definetly never ever going to the 1/4 mile again.
