Tranny & Gears

Matt,

Thanks for the clarification on the warranty.

I am having an indepenedent GM certified repair center do a custom rebuild, I am not letting the stealership do the work. Whatever $ amount the warranty covers for the repair of the tranny will be credited towards the cost of the custom rebuild. The repair center is also the only authorized Lingenfelter installer in the country besides the home office in Indiana. They specialize in Corvettes, both street legal and racing, and have installed many Magnasun SC's and custom rebuilt trannys designed to handle the added torque and HP of the SC.

As far as blaming myself, I don't think it was my fault that the tranny failed, I am just mad at myself for not going easier on the tranny and at least delaying the failure. My H2 is 2003 with 79k miles. It was just a matter of time before she gave way, I just pushed it and made it sooner rather than later. But then again, why put the mod on if you aren't going to use it, especially if it is covered under warranty.

There's always the old adage, it never hurts to ask. I was never going to just pay for the repairs without seeing what the warranty covers. I would have to be a total idiot to do that. A warranty is insurance against things like this and I have already filed my claim. The adjuster is coming out tomorrow to take a look and we will see what he has to say.

Thanks for your $.02
