problem after 9 year.... this kinda stuff only heard from a dual clutch transmission domain..
seriously, don't know why getrag is still in business (i guess, no life is loss from such failure.. ala takata)

It's okay..
I can accept that. Replacement half cut + refurbishment cost about 5k....I mean after 9 years, 350k km travel.....I am bound to run into issues..
Like any other gearbox....remember...after 350k...some car engine don't even last that long

which vw model you drive?

looks like you did a fantastic job maintaining it  :thumbsup:

It's a powershift gearbox which is made by getrag....wet clutch tho. It works like a charm and shifts perfectly especially during spirited drive. So far no problems except that oil change cost about 1.2k every 50k km ( max is 60k km)

But that's the price to maintain it
