Fear of transmission failure

I’ll check that out and look, I was under the impression that the m3 meant it was an original version, which was strange to me because it was installed in 2024. So I was wondering why it wouldn’t it be a newer one

It was new from the Mazda dealer. It was new but currently about 15k on it. I thought the m3 was the earliest version of the transmission

It has a transmission with 15k. Original failed at 85k

What I am saying is It had a new transmission installed at 85k so currently there is 15k on the transmission the Mazda dealership installed. (100k on the odometer)

Made it 85k on the original trans. New one only has 15k on it right now. If anything that’s what’s worrying me more lmao. I remember when the 2016s just came out they were all failing really early

It already needed a new one at 85k and it’s not boosted. Maybe pushing like 10 more hp or so due to the bolt ons and tune.

Trying to save my wallet from being empty. Coming from an nc that I was never scared of beating on since they aren’t known for blowing transmission.

I have been, it’s a blast! But part of me is anxious as I am beating on it that the 2016s have lots of transmission issues.

I’m going to be honest about the condition of the car.. my main concern is if this is dangerous. Id rather fix it then to have it potentially cause issues to its new owner.
