C8 trans issue
With only 1758 miles i had a transmission problem. After evaluation, it was identified that the transmission needed to be replaced. The issue, which occurred on April 8, 2024, was caused by a displacement in the clutch drum, resulting in a puncture in the oil pressure tubing. This caused a significant reduction in transmission pressure, leading to premature wear of several internal parts and ultimately.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with their Corvette C8?
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated

How did the car drive that let you know you had a problem....or is this something that is really obvious when you try to drive

FAR too many such problems are reported here and have been since the cars came out. Just gaze down the first page here or do an "Advanced search" across the C8 Forum for more than you'll likely ever want to read about the issue. All the best, in any event.

Here's the thing about that, there probably fewer than 100 original posts about DCT failures. Most of the posts are from people complaining about the unreliability of the DCT but didn't actually have a problem. Every time a poll is taken there are far fewer than 100 people that said they had an actual problem.

During a trip between cities, on a stretch of less than 100 miles, my Corvette C8 suddenly stopped. It wouldn't move forward or backward, and service messages began to appear. Given this situation, I am gathering evidence to pursue legal action. If you could help me find similar cases or provide any insights, it would be greatly appreciated. Your support in this matter would be invaluable to me.

Best of luck, hoping these problems will end soon. I think they may come with the complexity of new vehicles and customer demands for more and more features, not limited to the C8.

Sad to read that you're still looking for answers after 7 months, but that's why we have warranty coverage...I guess.
I don't know if I could wait for 7 months on a part or repair for any car.
