Fixed Transmission Warranty Issue

I'm sorry my bad. I was under a time crunch and thought this the most efficient way to deal with it. I will explain and fix. My car is currently under examination by the Subaru dealer for a transmission problem. I brought it in when I could not shift out of second gear. They are taking the transmission apart tomorrow, and are telling me it might be caused by me shifting too hard. I don't shift hard and I am concerned that they will try to put the costs on me, when I am still under the powertrain warranty. So I am trying to build a case prior to them trying to pin the repairs on me for what I feel was warranty work. The dealership is saying that if a rod is bent I have to pay the cost cause it is user abuse. I hope this explains this better.

If anyone has had a similar experience please post or e-mail me at rude_art@oco.net

Thank you and sorry again.

I was just preparing myself for the worst. When I was talking to maintenance they kept telling me it probably would not be covered. I just found out this morning that Subaru will cover it, so I am happy. I did not attack or act poorly to the dealer. If they had told me that it was not covered I would have wanted to act as quickly as possible. It is afterall my only car. Thank you everyone for your help.
