ya the tranny didnt really have a problem is was the launch control was just so damn violent that over time just the physics of it caused damage with repeated use.

they updated the car ( very playstationish) you just hook it up to a special lap top click a button and watch a progress bar fill up just like an update to PS3.

the update reduces the launch control to 3K rpm vs 4500 and it changes how the clutches engage so its less stressful on the car. you can do the LC with VDC on now and its under warranty.

i did alot of testing with the new update and bottomline its only about one tenth of a second slower than the old LC ( 0-60 and 1/8th the two tests i ran) with no real stress on the car
