The C8's version of Snap Ring?

[Shaun Ray]

The NSX had a bit of a bump early on with the Snap Ring issue. Looks like the Chevy C8 may be having a bumpy start:

Interested to see how this does over time as it's a new architecture for GM and so many new parts. I'm also curious to see how their Z06 engine does with the new flat plane crank.

The issues on the new vette seem more problematic than the snap ring. Time shall tell how Chevrolet does with it.

Seems a lot like the teething problems that Nissan had with their DCT as well Porsche faced with their PDK.

The biggest issue seems to be that the transmission can't be serviced at the dealer thus requiring the entire transmission to be replaced. (Same issues that Nissan and Porsche dealers faced until they solved the problems from the factory).

For those who are curious, here is a recent poll that was taken over at CF:
