Makes no difference. 1,000,000 HP will not ruin a TOB or the retainer. HP has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. As for the drag racing bit, that's the biggest pile of bullshit known to man. Ford shows brocures of smokey burnouts, sponsors track events and a club (SVTOA) which also sponsors them, and yet, gosh, if you actually drive your car, warranty void. Screw Ford. You buy a Corvette, you don't get these hassles. Flagship Chevy=Flagship Service. Flagship Ford=Screw you with no lube.
And you want to know what really burns me up? It's not that Ford won't warranty it, I would be willing to pay to play. It's that Ford WON'T SELL THE DAMN PART! Ford's fix for a $56 TOB retainer failure is a new $3,000 transmission. I'm sorry sir, you can preach the Ford company line all you want, but unless you can resolve our problem, all you are doing is spouting bullshit.
You're right HP has nothing to do with it. But abuse does have something to do with it. You need to get your facts straight before you go spouting your B.S. I have worked for Chevrolet and Dodge. Vipers and Vette's nothing is any different how these problems are dealt with. Customers who abuse their cars get their warranty's voided even if there is a product problem. 2nd Ford doesn't make that transmission TREMEC does so if you're pissed at someone talk to them. I am sure ford has. Ford didn't tell them to make it so the bearing retainer couldn't be replaced cheaply. Tremec is not offering any service replacement parts for that trans. Ford gets to pay for it. If you had to pay for every trans would you be happy. You abuse you lose your problem is you!

No i do not make that decision. I play more of a consumer advocate. I write up repair orders and oversee repairs on customers cars. I specialize in SVT vehicles and have alot of 1st hand knowledge on how these cars are repaired.

Gee let me guess your're an attorney. Well that explains it, always someone else's fault. You still haven't answered the main question. Is your're car Modified? It must be. Its probably you're excellent way with dealing with people that got you all that help at your first Ford dealership were they voided your warranty. Sounds like the right thing to do to you in my opinion. I sure wouldn't try to do anything for you. I not trying to advise on legal issues. I'm trying to make Ford's warranty policy clear to everyone. You just can't accept that you screwed up!

Actually, no, you phucking mental giant, as is pretty clear to everyone who can read, I am a networking professional, hence the name NETWORKINGGURU. I just happen to be a fairly smart cookie who knows a thing or two about the law. Yes, my car is modified. No, the mods don't have anything to do with the failure. Your point is? I could care less what their policy is, I know what the LAW is, and I also know what's right. Asking me to pay $4100 for a tranny and labor for a $56 part failure is not right. I don't know how you people can sleep at night, quite honestly.

LOL, this is rich, you pick on him for offering advice on legal issues and you sit there and say your a customer advocate yet try and tell people that they are abusing their TOB. Since you are a "MASTER" at what it is you do, please explaine to us how we are abusing the TOB??? Please O wise one, teach us mere mortals how driving our cars is abusing our TOB's after you have already admitted that the TOB is not affected by HP/TQ then what the f()ck is it affected by? How are they being abused to cause these failures?Originally posted by SVTADVISOR
