The two friends I have who owned the first generation both destroyed their gearbox. Replaced under warranty but took a long time because there weren’t enough boxes to replace all the broken ones....

Interesting, that is what read too from US owners. It took a long time to source new gearboxes. You would have thought more of these were around.

Since the whole gearbox is being replaced it is hard to know what has gone wrong. Sharkwerks reportedly opened a gearbox and found that the fixture of the third gear cog had been changed by Getrag. Under some unknown circumstances the welding seem to break causing the cog to spin instead of drive. 99% of the cases I read about it is this third gear failing.

Maybe the same guys who designed that cog got to work on the GT3 engine later SmileySmiley
