Well, you were right, the warranty company will not even touch the thing (they also had a back up plan in case it was original on SVTs... they told me the aftermarket wheels/tires could have caused the problem... I called bs on the guy and all he could say was "let me talk to my supervisor...blah blah").
Anyway, called the dealer, they did some talkin back and forth with the garage, the warranty co, and the dealer's manager. They are going to give me the $2000 I paid for the warranty back since it was void the minute I bought it.
So now I'm in search of a tranny. Not in too much a hurry, though cause the $ is supposdedly going to take at the most 3 weeks to arrive. Plenty of time to find a good deal, though.
So I'll call around the junkyards and see what I come up with since there's no difference in the SVT/non SVT tranny.
About the Quaife, I read up their warranty and as long as fst4dr sent the warranty papers in, I'm good to go. The garage says it's internally damaged (but can't determine what is wrong w/o opening it up), so I'm going to get that back and have maybe the first known trashed Quaife (he says it seemed to be installed properly...).
Anyway, on to searching!
