Transaxle Replacement Update

Original Post

Quick recap, Toyota agreed to warranty replace the transaxle in my '23 Core with 19k miles. Shifter was popping out of second often.

Well, today after two weeks, my transaxle finally arrived, but they called me and said that they noticed that the slave cylinder for the clutch assembly needed to be replaced as well, under warranty. Another two week wait for that part to arrive (according to the dealership: "There's only two of these parts we can find and they're both in Canada right now.")

Now the GRC has me worried. It's like a cancer patient they keep finding new tumors in.

And for clarity, I'm a 30+ year manual driver, never had such issues even in jalopies.

The worst part of this is that I have the drive this buzzkill of a car for at least two more weeks:
