Car has been running good with the new 2015+ coils, no issues. Next month will be 13 years of ownership.

Haven't done much to my car lately, but I did some minor updates to my wife's 2013 10 series.

1. Replaced the trunk shocks. I put it off for far too long because the shocks aren't cheap, but man what a difference that made.

2. Replaced the worn e-brake boot with a BRZ version with the red stitching. A bit extra, but gotta give this car with 208k miles some love.

I was surprised when I sat in a BRZ to feel the nicer e brake handle and boot. Good upgrade

Whelp, it finally happened. My wife's car's transmission has been acting funny for the last two years and today it finally threw codes.

P0700: Transmission Control System
P2714: Pressure Control Solenoid D Performance or Stuck Off
P0781: 1-2 Shift
P0762: Shift Solenoid C Stuck On



Now we see if this lifetime drivetrain warranty is worth anything.

Toyota confirmed the transmission needs to be replaced in my wife's car. Now I send the warranty company 13 years of receipts and hope they cover it...
