Default MXO..oh,oh...

One of our club members took the Museum delivery and drove his new yellow C6 home here to Tucson. Made it to his driveway before the transmission gave out! At least he was lucky it didn't go somewhere in the bonnies on NM or AZ on the way home. Early diagnosis is that some area was not machined correctly in the trans. We all know these things happen, but what a bummer.

Didn't you warn him about the color yellow and it's effect on transmissions? Was it an MN6 or A4?

Probably a M-6 those transmissions have more problems than the automatic.

Well, if you look at the title to this post, I think he already answered that question.
