Pulleys and Busted Trannies

Have any of you with a UR pulley set had your tranny replaced? If so, did the dealer give you any crap about the pulleys causing or contributing to the tranny failure?

i would think it is stupid to blame the pullies when the Acura are well known for tranny issues.

Damn stupid Metro Acura said they won't perform the timing belt tensioner recall because of my pulleys. Bunch of fawkers...as well as any other Acura Dealer. All threatened to void my warranty. I am gettin so frustrated. Sorry, had to vent.

Well, My TL-S is in the shop now for the belt tensioner under warranty and I have UR pullies. I don't know where your dealer is getting this.
