The good news is I only have 42k miles on my Z so the dealer is swapping a new gearbox under warranty. I cant wait to drive the new box

pps. Shadezz is helping me powder-coat my wheels while the z is up on the dealer lift. (Thanks again Shadezz) The car is going to come down off the lift wearing a new tranny and new powder-coated rims. All in all I'd say the track beating has done my ride a world of good.

Your wheels are getting done as this post goes up...
