Our cars are well known to have weak transmission, they can literally fail for no good reason. That's a quality control issue. When I had my shifting problem with my 86 people here were like "they are fixing it under warranty so why you complaining" "are you sure you know how to drive stick", because simply it's not their problem and they did not know the time and effort we had to put in to convince the dealership that there was a problem and that was caused by parts that were poorly manufactured. It always took an hour for them to input the car's info and to test drive the car with me, and the service technician always agreed that there was a problem with the transmission, then I went to work and they would call me and said the mechanic or foreman drove it and couldn't find any problem. I ended up had to go there again during lunch or get off early to have the test drive with the foreman then suddenly they "found" the problem. Toyota ended up lemon my 86 and I got a new BRZ with short throw shifter and it actually fixed all the shifting problems I had with my 86, not sure that will apply to every car tho.
