Who has serviced their Extroid Gear Box on their 350GT-8 model please? Workshop Specifies transmission flush to be carried out at 80,000kms & mines already on 89,000kms. Bought @ 71,500kms! I took it to Wakefield Park Raceway last Sunday & each time on the 5th/6th lap it would disengage the flappy paddles & it would jump gear by itself when I was driving slowly into the pit lane. It only stopped when I cooled it down on the back roads. I thought I had stuffed it completely by going hard in 2nd gear on the last corner one time. But it was mainly frying of the gear box I imagine. Every time I go hard on the streets now to overtake, you would get that same metal mechanism smell come from the Extroid box. Still works fine. But I wondered has anyone fixed the overheating issue on theirs? Does the transmission cooler go through the radiator for cooling? Or its a stand alone cooling unit? (That stupid tiny oil cooler at the right front of the bumper)... Also if you have serviced it. Was it is required to be in a closed, dust-free envioronment like Justin of Nagoya Motors (Caringbah, NSW) says it has to be in? Await your replies folks (if theres any out there with my troubles)...?
