Digging into the C8 Corvette's dual-clutch-transmission issues.
. It's one of Tremec's first DCTs and the first dual-clutch unit used in any production Corvette. Technically, it's an automated-manual transmission; this means the C8 is the first Corvette since the 1982 model year not offered with a traditional manual transmission. The TR9080 features a die-cast aluminum case, inside of which sits nested concentric clutch packs and an integrated differential.
"If they're looking through fluid, they are looking for wear," said Harty."They're looking for essentially a premature failure mode, which in something like that, if it's not a catastrophic failure per se, it might be these little, more subtle failures that are related to aggressive wear." Brink published a video to his YouTube channel on the day of the dealer inspection, at which point he was told a full transmission replacement could be in the cards. But the owner claims the service department was singing a different tune after GM got word of the situation.
On the drive to his dealer appointment later that week, Perry experienced additional strange behavior from the Corvette. The C8 stalled while approaching a red light, according to Perry. A turn of the key was able to get the car restarted, but selecting drive resulted in some serious bucking. Perry's C8 Corvette had done just 1462 miles before the replacement gearbox was installed, according to service records. The car has remained trouble-free in the years since the replacement, according to Perry, who now has around 8700 miles on the odometer.
