If they find that your tranny is bad and that they wil cover it, then you don't have to pay for the diagnosis fee.

I will call out a stock 3G TL, I haven't run into many 6speeds, autos are easy pickings. I have driven an auto and 6speed 3G TL 05, 06, and an auto 07, and I know on a regular basis I can beat an auto and depending how good the driver is I can take a 6speed, I would love to run an AUTO 07 TL-S, notice I said auto, I know better than to mess with a 6speed, I bet it would be closer than people think, then again it could be worse, but thats the fun of it!
You may have had a TL-S but was it modded? Don't knock what you don't know...

I wasnt thinking you had a 4 speed
By all means
Have your local guy rebuild it and have his own warranty
I would not expect the dealer to know the exact nature of changes and dates of changes to the transmissions.
All Others: The dealer is required by law to have you sign a work authorization for your car to be in the shop. That is why they write a normal repair order with a 1.5 hour diagnosis fee. That gives them the right to look at your car. Without a work order- they are car thieves stripping your car for parts!
Once they determine it is a warranty issue- a new warranty repair order is written and attached, you pay nothing for the diagnosis as it is included with the warranty
May you transmission live long !!
