This is not cool! I've had my Daytona for exactly 2 weeks now, with only 400 km on it. I went to leave for work this morning and pulled out of the garage when I noticed a puddle on the pavement. When and checked it out, and sure enough it was Tranny fluid, and a significant amount at that. I'm going into the dealership tomorrow to get looked at, but to be honest I'm a little pissed off. I'm concerned with what they're going to tell me even though it would be covered under warrenty. Any thoughts!
I would not even drive it to the dealer... I would get it towed. Broken seals, hopefully, and not a damaged transmission.
Excellent advise: you could do serious damage if you drive it, and the dealer could refuse to fix it under warranty if you cause further damage by driving it. Call the dealer and tell them to tow it in.

Your problem seems to be that you have been driving kilometers and not miles. Those of us that have been driving miles have not had this problem!

After some discussions with the dealership and the fact that we cannot actually check our transmission fluid levels, they have arranged for a flat-bed to come and pick the car up tomorrow morning. Hopefully, the problem isn't going to be anything major, but anytime your tranny is leaking there is room for concern. I'll let all of you know what happens, and if it's something that all of us need to worry about. Car still rocks though!
Keep us informed. I for one am starting to get concerned about our trannys. I have not had any problems but I have seen too many complaints for such a short period of time on the road.... Things are only bound to get worse... Best of luck to you and the rest of us...
Well, she's all fixed! Fortunately, turns out the factory in Bramptom inproperly installed transmission pan gasket. They replaced the gasket and shampood the underside of the car, so everything looks to be good. Hopefully, this was first and only problem that I'll experience with the tranny.
I just took mine in this morning for a small transmission fluid drip.
Come back here, quick search, and find all of these treads. This makes me feel alot better. Hopefully mine is just a pan gasket too. It only drips 1-2 drops a day or so.
BTW, This forum is awesome.
