The trans works great on public roads but if you take your car to a high performance driving event, particularly if it is at a race track with some long straights and then some really tight corners, you may find if you drive the car at its limits, the transmission will overheat before you complete your allotted time on the track. Lot of posts on on this topis here and a lot of good fixes are available now. I don't know of anyone having problems on public roads but the full throttle to full brake to full throttle on a race track, trans only lasts 15 to 20 minutes.
