So what broke on it?

If they didn't honor it if would be irate cause you bought the warrant for a reason

Then you pray they rebuild it correctly so you don't have to deal with it again

Could just be like the SD guy on here with the bright red GXP.. Lord knows he had to get his rebuild trans worked on quite a few times

Ok, so got a call today and the dealership is going to fix it. They sent the car to a local shop to rebuild it. It's a reputable shop I have dealt with them before but don't know for sure if they are going to rebuild or change out. It's supposed to be on deck tomarro and then I will know more, I'm just relieved they are going to fix it.

I know huh? They could have told me "your screwed" because I bought the car As Is, No Warranty and then fell in that 30 window until the Extended warranty kicked in. What is the deal with that by the way? 30 grace period for extended warranty - ...

That's how most extended warranty companies operate. They do it that way because after the 30 days, its prorated every month, so if you were to cancel it, you wouldn't get the full amount back.

You are able to cancel it within the first 30 days, from when it was purchased, and then you would be able to get a full refund.

Makes sense but sucks either way. The whole as is thing can be sketchy. Had a buddy a few months sell his honda si and then went and purchased a Lincoln LS as is. His a important guy I told him what to look out for but he didn't listen. He bought the car by... 2 of the windows motors didn't work, needed tires bad and the window kept falling down.. Told him why the hell would you buy something like this.. It's a tell tale sign that is has problems if they wanted to really sell it they would of fixed these minor things.. A week later the headgasket let out. Money down the drain because he bought it as is and didn't bother having someone look at it for him. Dealer did nothing because he bought it as is and they had every right not to do anything. Lessoned learn by him.. Ended up selling it for cheap.

No, they should still cover it, but they won't pay to get it done until after you've had your warranty active for over 30 days.

I just run Dex VI its semi synthetic iirc and to increase your trans life this time around I would get the stuff others suggested earlier. Trans cooler, shift kit, tune.
