if it is a tranny I don't see why not.
sidenote, but somewhat related i guess;
If u change exhaust and intake and bla bla bla bolt on power adders. If something broke, and the dealership said it was because of the added power/stress from the new parts. wouldn't they have to prove that those parts added power (and thus stress on parts)? I mean, they would have to dyno the **** right?
if no one answers this, thats cool, not exactly thread related.

well my car ONLY has exhaust and intake...soo...not really "power adders"
since it IS a 3" exhaust...
just enough to get off the road...probably drove like that for like a mile
...
i bought it at a used car dealership if that helps any?
isnt there a law where they cant sell u a "lemon" car
where they'll fix it..or even refund u the car?
idk

yea..i guess..it said on the dash "engine power reduced"
or something like that
do u think they can?
i just called the dealership where i got it..he says that if its transmission...they should be able to cover it..if its clutch..then i would have to buy one...i mean..i'd rather buy a new clutch than transmission..but if they're gonna pay for it..might as well be the transmission.
LOL...MPH man..

MPH and other useful data is stored in a freeze frame when a CEL is set. This information can be read when the CEL is checked.

no..it has trouble starting up..but it eventually starts up
when she does start up tho....the rpms go crazy and so does the boost
...
