Final update:
I got the car back today with a new transmission. My service rep showed me the warning counts and there were a lot of times that I hit the rev limiter, which is no big deal, but then as far as over revs go, they had 225 hits in the "level two" warning and three hits in the "level three" area. i forget how high level two is, but level three was "up to 7900 RPMS". So apparently I'd spent three engine rev cycles in dangerously-high RPM ranges and a good 225 cycles in the rather-high range.
There's also levels four five and six, which I didn't register on.
Now, to me, those don't seem like outrageous revs or counts, nor do they seem hard to avoid, as the only time I ever did a "whoopsie" shift was when i was still figuring out the car and obviously I caught it pretty fast.
However, I was warned that they could void the engine adn drivetrain warranty if they saw that sort of activity increase.
A little annoying, and I'm not certain that I can see how that'd hold up in court, but since I dont' plan on having to worry about it, no problem. I'll fight that battle IF I have to.
I'm left in a certain conundrum though. I don't think I beat on the car, Porsche thinks I've been beating on the car. I think the car had/has a glass tranny, Porsche doesn't. With that weakened trust that I now have in the car, will I still be able to enjoy it as I have?
We'll see.
