Transmission not on warranty??
my 03 Z has 35k miles on it. I took the car in because i noticed that 5th and 6th gear are hard to get into, and when in netural, the stick seems to be off centered.
they diagnostics the vehicle, and said it is a problem with the tranny, but it is not under warranty. they said the part of the tranny that was messed up is the "shift boot". they said those exact words. i'm guessing by that they mean the synchros?
anyway, should this be covered on warranty? or is it my fault because i messed it up? and if i have to pay out of pocket, what exactly would need to be replaced?
