[s-cars] warranty GP?

[Peter Anderson]

Understood - I am driving a six speed after all.  However, I just thought
I'd share my experience in this matter as a fair number of listers are
considering this route.  It's not my intent to talk anyone out of a
warranty, Mine worked fine for me.  I'm just saying do the "due diligence"
and read the fine print and realize it can be a pain to follow a claim
through for both you and your mechanic.  Finally, for the record, when I
made my claim for the tranny, they sent an adjuster to check it out AND I
had to work it hard for the six speed instead of a rebuilt-god-knows-where
five speed.
