To Blue370tt:
Eat my ***:
Confirmed 7AT failures:
1. Shumby
2. this guy
7 speed good it just can not believe this.
Unconfirmed:
1. One identified by a tuner in my area -- I'll allow that this is hearsay.
2. And I thought at least one other on here -- anyone???
If we go only with the confirmed failures on here, there are two. How many people have boosted their 7AT's? 5? 6? Let's assume 6 -- that's 2/6 or 33% failure rate. Let's pretend it's 10 -- that's a 20% failure rate.
If there's less than 100 people boosted I want to know what the fvck went wrong before I risk destroying my new car. The failure rate is way too high.
People can take whatever risks they want with their own car, but speaking only for myself, until the reason for the failures and a reliable solution is clarified, I'm holding off on boost.
Thanks
I prefer to err on the side on caution for a brand new 30K + car...
EDIT: Okay, so WHY did the others fail and why is it that yours has held up?
Don't be a smart *** -- if you have no idea, then all you can do is say that yours hasn't failed! That's great -- I certainly don't wish it to, but why should your positive experiences be given more weight than the negative experiences of others?
If we don't know, then "the jury is still out" is a totally fair assessment.
If there are 10 boosted 7AT's and 2 failed, that's still 20% failure rate! That's ******* high! I want to know how to avoid that before I lay down several grand, thanks.
Jeez.
P.S.
If yours eventually fails will you post an apology? Don't disreagrd the failure rate just because yours has held up -- and I hope it does -- but your sucess story doesn't make the failure stories any less serious.
