They called me in and he said his team looked at it and it was slipping bad outta the gate when they test drove it, checked the temps and they were high, then let it cool and tested it again, still slipped but not as bad. Thats when they explained everything about it not being meant for track use. Later on I slipped all the way home, a 2 hour drive. Traded it in with 3rd and 4th slipping quite often, even cool.
So my first hand experience was crappy, but it could have easily gone the other way I'm sure. Just like how some of these engine have to be replaced due to oil consumption, but most don't, but it still exists and people should know about it.

Interesting, thanks for the info. Mine so far has been solid but only time will tell.
