Default has anyone NOT replaced their tranny???

ok i have to ask cause ive been reading alot of posts recently (new and old) about people having all kinds of tranny problems and getting their trannys replaced... maybe it just seems like alot of people having tranny problems, but it just seems to me like ALOT of people are either having tranny problems or have had to get it replaced at some point. Is it just me or are their actually Z owners out their that are having a nice trouble free Z experience. Or will everyone that owns a Z at some point have to replace their tranny?

Tranny replaced at 50k due to grinding, engine replaced at 58k for oil consumption. 63k now and I beat the car harder then you could ever possibly imagine. If I would have beaten on my old 2000 Mustang like this it would have only lasted 2 weeks. The Z is truley a beast. When people say that its a true sports car they couldnt put it any better in words.

Very small % have tranny problems. but a large % of posts are those with problem.

My 03 MT has 45,000 miles & shifts as well as day it arrived. and that is with my son learning to drive MT on the Z.
