don't they have to prove that the "extra power" actually caused the problem? cuz what did that give you? 2-5 hp? lol

doesn't the Magnuson–Moss act come into affect for this situation?

It doesn't matter, dealer will find any reason not to do free repair. Its like when u get pulled over for nothing but cop has to give u ticket so hell find something. Only time dealer will warranty is when u haven't done nothing to the car and daily drive the car.
Also remember car logs highest rev and saves it in ecu. If you red lined the car they will know and it voids drivetrain warranty

"Simply using an aftermarket or recycled part does not void your warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for companies to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty simply because you used an aftermarket or recycled part. The manufacturer or dealer can, however, require consumers to use select parts if those parts are provided to consumers free of charge under the warranty.

Still, if it turns out that the aftermarket or recycled part was itself defective or wasn't installed correctly, and it causes damage to another part that is covered under the warranty, the manufacturer or dealer has the right to deny coverage for that part and charge you for any repairs. The FTC says the manufacturer or dealer must show that the aftermarket or recycled part caused the need for repairs before denying warranty coverage."



getting a ticket from a random spot check by a cop is different. He has every right to ask you to pop your hood and check for illegal parts and ticket you if that part is technically illegal. The OP's situation is that he's being denied warranty for something that isn't directly correlated to the issue. they're literally bullshitting him to save themselves the cost of repairs.

Do you think this would still apply to me? They told me the reasoning behind my gear grinding is because of the, "increased power from not having any catalytic converters caused the synchros to become defective" (something like that) which is total bs.

Subaru will not warrant it because my car is "fully catless" and they are blaming the extra power being the cause of my transmission failing. So they've flagged my car in southern California... They told me the cost to replace it would be around $7000!

Hey guys,



Need some advice. My car needs a new transmission because of gears grinding on 6th. Subaru will not warrant it because my car is "fully catless" and they are blaming the extra power being the cause of my transmission failing. So they've flagged my car in southern California... They told me the cost to replace it would be around $7000!



If you were me, what would you do? Need as much advice as possible on this. Honestly don't think that its really fair, to consider such a modification to even be able to do that.
