Take nothing in this thread seriously....except what I am typing right here.don't know why I didn't see the sarcasm..
The trans is 12k to replace not 20k everyone likes to mention. And to compare a manual trans to a dual clutch setup is asinine.
$12k in repair costs and a void warranty is enough to make me not want a car. Not to mention if it broke u nder just a little abuse what makes you think it won't happen again and again down the road the more you use it and the more miles that get put on the car?
