it is actually a FREE TCM "flash", but I would keep LC1 if you plan on actually drag racing it down the road.

A little extra on the warranty settlement

Better to know too much than not enough. And to think Nissan wanted its customer to swallow the cost of this tranny repair. I can think of better things to do with $20K.

If you use the LC2 with VDC on and something breaks, everything's covered. If you turn the VDC off and use LC2 and something breaks, you're in the poo.

So the customer has to pay for these products out of pocket, then they get a full warranty reimbursement? Or are they just uploading the new software and all the parts are covered?
