Had a shop quote to rebuild the transmission vs a reman since it's on backorder. Anyone have thoughts on rebuild vs reman?

Have you installed these? Photos please if you have!

Thank you :( Yeah, I've come to terms with it. Going to get the Toyota transmission. Just getting quotes at this point

The shops I took it too are both transmission specialists and done work on LCs. Haven't taken it to a dealership yet

These are the symptoms I've had: When reversing out the driveway (going from park to reverse) it's quick to change gear. Then once in the street I go reverse to drive. That gear change has a lag and thud. Besides that gear changes are all smooth when driving. the only time when driving where...

The transmission fluid was done at 100k by the previous owner, and then got the code at 174k. In that case, would you still point to the fluid exchange being the culprit?

I'll likely go with the Toyota then. I appreciate your and everyone else's help with this situation

That might be the answer to your question then. Seems like they all had different purposes or feels. Depending on your experience, the 200's might be too similar (something you haven't had happen in your garage). BUT, again, it's subjective. If you want another 200 get another one. Worst case...

That's a fair take, but I feel speed is overrated with EV's. Yes they're the quickest but how fast do you really want to go or can you go? How useful is a 2 second 0-60 vs 3 second? Especially when you'll be braking a bunch too. That's not even considering the feel of a car with an engine (if...

This is cool^^ If you sold the Macan S, then probably skip the SQ5 since they're similar. I still believe it to be incredible. Interesting that you owned 3 sport Porsches with overlap. How did/do you feel having 2 in the garage at all times?

You're not wrong :hmm:

I feel it's super subjective and just depends on factors. Where do you want to spend time and money. If you have a lot of money you can buy everything there is to offer but have to also split the time between all there is to experience. If someone wants to buy 10 of the same thing or 10...

So you’d say the warranty shouldn’t be a deciding factor since it’s an OEM rebuild. Basically if something were to go wrong after that, I have bigger problems

Your guess is as good as mine. They said they’d receive it January

Just got pricing and opinion from the shop. Wanted to share here for anyone's reference if needed. Jasper transmission: about $8100 with 3 year 100k warranty Toyota transmission: about $6500 with 1 year part only warranty both of which are months out My transmission is getting the right...
