I have zero issues in any other gear up or down shifting. Never missed a gear, and never over-rev'ed during a down shift, a few close money shifts in 2nd/3rd but thats it.

What should I tell the dealer, what dealer should I go to? I am in Claremont so Claremont Toyota is 2 min away, but I don't know if they are "tuner" friendly.

My main concern is that they are going to say I am modified and that caused the issue, visually its just rims/tires, (the rest of my mods are in my sig) However I have zero clutch issues, no TOB issues, and the problem only exists on 4th->5th, so unless I am doing mad freeway pulls with some crazy power I cannot see how they can take the stance of abuse.

Here is the thread I have been following - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120513


Thanks!
They cannot deny a warranty claim unless they can prove that whatever your modification was regardless of if it was done to the transmission or not caused the issue. And they have to prove it, not just say it.
