Automatic transmission failure? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Got a phone call from the service rep at the dealer, details are updated on the original post.

Picked up my brz today. It seemed boggy at first, but got better quickly. I think that was just the ecu adapting. Long story short, no idea why trans failed. Dealer said it was unlikely SoJ will tell them what went wrong, just happy to be on the road again.

You'll have some break-in time on it so take it easy on it for a few tanks of gas.

The insides of a modern AT have so freaking many parts that could fail. They'll figure it out but it will take a while.

You guys are bunch of cry babies, one guy has a supposed failure. Could be so many different issues, hell the owner doesn't even know.

Honestly i wish the best for you man.

30K miles, abusing the auto everyday. Hasn't missed a beat.

Just drive the car.

I took the long way home from the dealer (normally a 15 mi drive) and racked up another 100 miles on odo. I do believe i will be driving to make up lost time.
