Just the other day I read that a forum member had some sort of clutches in the transmission replaced at 80k km's (50k miles). Is this common? Especially at that low of mileage? What's the cost on that? I'm trying to get an idea of big/expensive issues with these cars and so far it just seems to be the "cylinder head sealing concern" .

No concerns with tranny.

The transmission is very strong in this car but everything has it's breaking point.

I made over 400+ pass at the race track with my car and it never missed a shift. I changed the fluid twice in the 17K miles of ownership. Fresh fluid is key for longevity especially if racing is part of your routine.

so issues at 50k miles isn't a common case?

Merc63

I've never heard of anyone having issues.

I drove mine hard since day 1, never any problems.

PetroC63

I wouldn't think so.

I think that may have been a rare case.
