A8 Failures

Select if you have had an A8 failure or not. The poll is broken down by actual transmission failure or just torque converter failure. It is broken down by year model for both failures and non failures. This is for STOCK tune cars that have never been tuned.

Fingers crossed

You are just getting warmed up. Are you stored for the winter, or somewhere you can get decent days to drive?

I won't vote till it's confirmed by the dealer that it is indeed TC. Should know for sure by weekend.

I have a 03/16 build Stingray with no issues, but with only 2800 miles on it. It will be interesting to hear from those at 10K miles and more.
