Since my original trans didn't have any of the common TOB/clutch/retainer/clunk problems that many have had I put off taking it to the dealer for as long as possible. Unfortunatly I had a bad 6th gear syncro from day one. Started out just occasionally popping out of 6th gear while shifting. Annoying but liveable. By 6000 miles it got to the point where I couldn't even grind it into 6th gear. So I gave in and dropped the car off at the dealer fully modded. No hassles what so ever. Got the car back 2 days later with the new trans. Better yet the new trans shifts smoother than the original trans so I can't complain. I wonder how many 03 transmissions will be replaced before our warranty run out?
