    Posted this over on my 6 speed manual grinding thread:

    Toyota just called me about the short shifter (he called it a shim), asking if I had dropped anything in there when I installed it. [​IMG]

    Told him it was a controlled environment, nothing fell in (and said you guys woulda found something in there if I had), I asked if the short shifter could affect my warranty, he said it could, I called bullshit, I said it says right on URD's site that it doesn't void it at all. I also said, why, do you think it caused the issue? He said he didn't know.... so I don't even know what the point of that phone call was. I then mentioned that this issue started happening WELL before I installed that, which is the absolute truth. I welcomed him to have anyone he wants to, call and discuss this with me.

    He said this fix was going to be a "one time thing"... yea, whatever dude, it happens again, and I am under warranty, you WILL fix it again.

    So, basically, they have no idea wtf happened, something came lose and "bounced around in there" per the director that called me.

    Then he asked if I service it myself, I said yes (not sure what that had to do with it).

    Cool, thanks man.

    I would be fine anyway.. they would have to prove something fell down there to deny it anyway, which they won't find since nothing fell down there. :cool:

    Plus I told them I just installed it two weeks ago and the shitty trans was doing the grinding before that.

    36.8k miles. 800 miles out of my regular warranty. I hope that director is there so I can have speaks to him in person, I am going to tell him this isn't a one time thing if their POS transmissions can't stand up to the light offroading I do.

    I will of course be respectful until they aren't.

    I wonder if I should look for him when I pick my truck up... one of my flaws is I sometimes don't know when to just take what I have and go... I sorta like to argue.

    So, do I get my warranty covered truck and leave with smiles and thank yous.. or do I hunt this dude down, and make sure he understands that this isn't a "one time thing", they will cover it as long as it is under the power train and not my fault...?
