Unhappy Add me to the dead transmission list...

Well... it looks like my time has come. Engine warning light, VSA, and exclamation point triangle came on at the same time. Already contacted my dealer and will be taking the car in later today or tomorrow. I can feel a little slipping followed by a hard shift when I change from 1-2 and 2-3.

So much for putting my new rims on and hitting up the skyline meet. And I thought I was finally finished with it...

Yep, my car actually falls outside of the "impacted VIN range" but I have the extended warranty.

Do you mean an extended warranty that you purchased yourself?

I know... I've been itching to start buying parts for the swap but haven't pulled the trigger yet. How's your build coming along?

Coming along pretty good. Just waiting for some more parts to come in, that and I need to go make a purchase with Brandon this weekend.

Was hoping to see your whip this weekend for the meet. When do you think it will be out?

That is a good thing you have extended warranty. You should be all good with a new updated tranny.

the tranny went just cause its a shitty tranny and i blew my engine cause my front main seal was leaking and the boost from the SC made the oil pressure too great and blew it off causing a drop in oil pressure and throwin a rod threw the engine block and valves crashing into the pistons. But i purchased the extended warranty when i bought the car just like death and got a brand new engine free of costs.
