458 Gear box issue

How many miles?

 

I thought the extended warrantee started 2012.

 

It's a bummer you will be without your car for a week or two and the price tag is painful. I don't think the numbers add up in favor of the extended warranty, though. If it's a 2010 it would have been out of the three year warranty by 2014. The annual price is usually around $4,000 so keeping it covered for that period of time would have cost more money overall.

 

That's great to hear. I didn't realize you picked it up recently with the power warranty, you definitely won this battle. My understanding is that the power warranty needs to be renewed each year in order to qualify for the next year, so it's surprising that you could get the power warranty unless it had been maintained each year.

Good for you.

 

David, so sorry to hear about your transmission issue. Hope it gets sorted out quickly. I have been reading too many 458 transmission issue on the forum this month. I think this may be the 3rd. Would you mind sharing some of the symptoms that the transmission started exhibiting. I have a 2013 Italia with 8k miles.
