SnowStorm Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 How far you can limp may depend on the exact failure mode but I "limped" along for 50k miles or more. Read my story here, mostly 3rd page. However, my sound was a faint whir. If a hole hadn't been worn through the case, I might still be "limping" along - the car ran just fine. I'm still thinking that my problem started after using the 'L' gear coming off a mountain with lots of engine breaking, followed by some nasty sounds when I stopped. My warning is to NEVER use engine braking ('L' on gearshift or the Downhill button). The TSB covering this problem refers to a "thumping/rubbing or grinding noise".
