Could we get a list of YourName, Town, State from people who've had trans replaced?

You know how when you call in to a radio station or write a letter to a magazine, you give them your name and town?

If we could please make a list here giving the following information I believe it would be beneficial to members who would like to print a list of verifiable transmission replacements to show their dealers we aren't making this stuff up.


Year Model of car
Full Name
Town, State
Number of transmission failures?

Example:

2001 CL TypeS
Joe Smith
Anytown, AZ
One trans failure @ ____ miles


The goal of this is for ACL users to be able to present more than just a pretty colored graph to any dealer employee who tries to deny/downplay the extent of the transmission issue.

Feel free to just put your first initial and last name (or first name, last initial) for a bit of online privacy. The dealers should still be able to verify you against records kept at a dealer in your area as to whether or not you've had a trans replacement.

Thank you for your help and participation in this.

One failure at 18K.

(side note: I added tranny cooler and the fluid looks much better after 14K mile compared to before at 3K).
