Update... for those interested....and those that didn't follow the previous thread you can catch up on "Granturismo - Opinions and Advice sought.." posted earlier
FYI It's a 2012 GT Sport Auto with MC software .... and covered 35,000 mls
Been a discussion between Maserati and Dick Lovett... Problem seems to be with the shift from 3rd-4th and with the bit that directs pressure to the relevant clutch the Mechtronic... I think they called it..Maserati say this is not unknown .. but also that in their experience replacing this hasn't always resolved the issue..
So... they have sanctioned a complete new gearbox under warranty... Which tbh I'm a little surprised at, but also very pleased with... Just got to wait for it to turn up next week..
Now whilst that probably gives me all the confidence I need not to extend the warranty - It also makes me feel that a Maserati warranty is actually worth having - as it does what it says on the tin... (I've had a previous claim - not so serious, but nevertheless there was potentially scope for them to quibble.... and they didn't)... so as it turns out the warranty... over and above the peace of mind value has indeed been money well spent..
I know there's been various opinions of Maserati's after sales in the past... So I just thought worth posting what has been a positive experience for me...
I'd also be curious to know of any experiences with Auto box issues - as having googled it... It seems to be a pretty rare issue..
