Yes, but I suppose they are just really backordered. It's been tough waiting because I only had it for a month or two before it went into the shop and I'm waiting to start my build! My living room is filled with car parts in boxes!

@bjowett what's your take on what appears to be a higher frequency of 6 speed failures compared to the A750F and 2016+ 8 speed?
I have no idea, but I didn't know this was an issue! I would never have expected this trans to crash.
Idk about other people's service history, but at least for mine, I am starting to get harsh shifting at 235k. I had no records of transmission fluid changes really at all, so no clue when it was last done.
With a lack of service history on fluid changes, I have to assume that is the issue, finally did a drain and fill recently after being scared off from doing it from other people.
There is a school of thought out there, and I don't know enough to analyze it, but it basically states that you should never unseal and mess with the fluid. I was told that by at least one shop when I was troubleshooting my problem.
I find that very hard to believe and now I'm wondering if we should do a flush and fluid change on our 100 Series before anything happens there. I don't know that its transmission has ever been serviced.
Yes. Do full fluid exchange every 100k.
Update - I picked up the vehicle yesterday. 5 months to get the transmission done.
