the problems have been occuring when you downshift with SMG2, and people are overrevving their engines, and spinning bearings, throwing rods, and so on.
apparently the computer allowed some downshifts too early and threw it into the next lower gear too soon, mechannically forced a rev past the fuel cutoff, and broke stuff. people have been having entire engines replaced around 5k miles sometimes. its crazy stuff.
