Yeah, I am aware that they won't cover the clutch and Chris has already told me that if they do not cover it I should buy a new one and he can install essentially free of charge since he'll be in there working on the tranny anyway.
My bigger worry at the moment though is that they won't cover the synchros. Apparently the technician or inspector CarMax sent over is contending that the worn clutch might have caused the synchros to wear prematurely, in which case they aren't responsible for any of it.
The guys at Jerry's told them that in their estimation that was probably not the case and anyway there is really no way for them to tell which wore first and caused damage to the other component. Apparently worn synchros can damage the clutch and a worn clutch can damage the synchros but its impossible to tell which did which. So if CarMax comes down on the other side of the fence and denies the repairs I am going to have to give them a call and really lay in to them.
I hope they do what's right!
