I believe they are going with the Jasper transmission. I talked to them about both Jasper and GM units today. Based on what the mechanic said, I'm not sure I see a benefit from the GM over the Jasper. I'll never hit 100k in 3 years.
it's happened to me before, had it serviced and someone forgot to put the clip back on and 5 miles later giant puffs of smoke......Welp... Picked it up yesterday. I had drove roughly 50 miles problem free. Then all hell broke lose. I pulled in my driveway (it was dark). Shut it off, get out and it is smoking insanely bad. I look under it as oil is gushing all over the concrete section of my driveway.
Good news though. It was just a forgotten retaining clip and it didn't blow the line off until I was roughly an 1/8th mile or less from my house. I went today and picked up the retaining clip, Transfluid (8qts - took roughly 7.5qts) and fixed it. Dealership was very apologetic and offered to fix it. I wasn't waiting though... So they ordered everything from the nearest parts store for me.
Unfortunately... Everything is absolutely coated in transmission fluid underneath. I scrubbed everything on the exterior as the rear wheels, and back end were coated as well. Tomorrow I plan on using a foam cannon with some degreaser to clean it up underneath. Hoping to get it waxed as well. Hopefully this is the last "bad news" post I have. I'm really excited to finally get to enjoy it since I officially got it back in time to make my first car payment (which happened today).

That was my thoughts as well lol. I'll clean it the best I can tomorrow and then on Monday I'll get it on my buddies lift at his shop. We are going to look at the exhaust and see if it is similar to the 2014 and older models. I would like to do the SLP resonator delete.... But it's designed for 2007-2014 models... So time to see what needs modified to fit.it's happened to me before, had it serviced and someone forgot to put the clip back on and 5 miles later giant puffs of smoke......
the good news is it will clean all the stuff underneath
if you change the exhaust and get rid of that little flapper by the muffler you might want to turn off the 4 cylinder mode or it will sound weird
