/\ the best you're going to info you're going to get durability wise, is folks with around 30-40K miles reporting no issues, like a couple of the posts above. Just not enough time has passed and these cars tend to not get driven more than 10K per year on average. Afaik, the csc is identical thru all model years of the Z.

/\ we will have to agree to disagree on this one Red. But then again, I had big problems with the FA5 trans and you didn't, and I have no problems with the Z trans, and you did...
