Transaxle epxeriences
In racing trim the GTV6/Milano transaxle can have problems. Most of the problems are related to the inboard rear brakes. Here in SowDiv SCCA we run a six hour endurance race at Texas World Speedway. TWS has several very hard brake zones. In past enduros we have actually boiled the gearoil in the transaxle. The fix was to duct air to the rear brakes. Only one driveshaft failure in 8 years of racing. Was using a "rebuilt" driveshaft with supposedly new donuts, because parts to rebuild driveshaft in car did not come in for race. Driveshaft lasted 1.5 races and came a part at 110 mph. Never broken a donut on primary shaft. In road racing you are not slipping clutch or starting from standstill. Even in heavily modified Milano Verde's never had a transaxle failure.
