There is a thread in the german forum (yello one) speaking of several gearbox failures with the short ratio gearbox of Evora and Exige V6. I never read about that here on Lotus Talk or did I miss something? Is it a known issue?

There is also a video on Youtube:

A few have had issues on the Evora and they have been documented here. I am not sure the exact amount of individuals that have had failures; because the clutches seem to be the main worry.

I have a friend who has a Cup car and he had the transmission replaced due to 3rd and 4th being blown.

I've actually heard of no Evora with an actual transmission gear failure. All documented issues in North America have revolved around clutch, throw out bearing or master cylinder failures.

Well, if there is a chronic issue, I'm sure people will start chiming in. It is odd that no one has come forward here in the states as usually if something breaks, people will post here immediately.

35K miles - no issues yet.

50k for me, and still going strong. I was actually excited about hitting 100k late next year, but switched gigs a couple of months ago. So I went from 80+ miles a day to like 10.

Do you miss the daily distance?

No, the traffic sucks in LA. So I plan on taking more road trips on weekends to make up the mileage!

Yes -my comment was really regarding the clutch issue (again not that many).
