Out of curiosity I called SVT to speak to Troy. Low and behold, a guy named Troy got on the phone! We had a very good discussion about all kinds of issues, with the tranny issue in particular (my biggest issue as a 'victim' of this problem).
He assured me that some SVT represntation will be out there at SZ, which is really cool.
He keeps asking us for detailed information on problems we have, including VIN, mileage, details on problems, etc. LETS GIVE IT TO HIM! Can't we put together some type of web-based form on the site? I would like to help out here if I could. I am a developer and could easily put together such a repository. I think that it should be on contour.org, or at least linked directly off of contour.org. If the latter is acceptable to all, I have the hardware up and running, and can put this together very quickly. I am looking for some direction here from the moderators, etc. I am really serious about this...Troy told me that the Tranny failures are not commonplace, and that the only recently started happening. I know if I can aggregate this data, we can prove otherwise. Perhaps we can use the data to make a difference and get some type of compensation, i.e. another TSB, etc.
