Miles?
Like I said in the first post, the only sign was that loud clunk and it jerked the car a bit when going from P to R. Sounded as if like two gears didn't mesh properly. No, didn't use since a long time. I did some highly spirited driving since changing out the fluid after changing out the dct pan gasket to make sure there were not any leaks.
ALSO, I remembered that I had the car up on the lift last week to check the drive shaft and guibo. I also confirmed that the DCT pan was dry, so no leaks there after replacing the gasket and driving hard on it.

Right, but what I/we want to know is what caused it. I'm still waiting for what they say.
