Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

From what I've scraped together online in research, there's an actual specific code for a clutch pack overheat. From what the tech has told me every time I've brought the car back, its just a generic code based on my "driving profile" and not a specific fault of the transmission.

I guess my question is; if it was the clutch packs failing and overheating, wouldn't there be a specific code triggered by one of the clutch pack temp sensors?
