I'd that think after all the crap you've been dealt with the dealer you might want to just fix it and then get rid of it and buy a different car. Buy a G35, GTO, Mustang, 350Z, S2000 or even a Vette. This thing is jinxed. The whole thing is a nightmare that has turned into a money pit. Cut your losses and buy something else. I have the feeling that you're going to keep fixing this thing for as long as you own it. A lot of times once you take a car apart like that no matter how many times you fix it it'll never be quite right.

ok here's what you should do. Eat a crap load of beans and buffalo wings the night before....the next day walk into the dealership service area....drop your pants and take a huge messy dump on the floor.

I think the 05 TC is the same as 03-04 its just a little bigger. Good thing is that it has Helical LSD which for us 03-04 owners dont have. We have that crappy open diff! Go to TRE, Jon is awesome in fixing TC's and Trannies. Call him. It always seemed that 95% of the problem with the TC is incorrect fluid. See if you can get a sample of the fluid and have it sampled to see if it was the correct one. A lot of dealers dont put the right fluid and put the trannyu fluid in the TC

How about the new Lexus 300 IS coming out. It will have 300 horsepower and 4 doors. Yeah, it's expensive, but the way things are going it might end up being cheaper! Fix it and sell it!

i'm going to get a 2004 RS T-case with LSD and eliminate the ACD in my car. Then i'll probably eliminate the button, change the cluster so you cant even tell. then i'll get a stock intercooler sprayer tank and put the bolt in alcohol sprayer kit in. thats the plan
