haha...brother, you get rid of your bitches so easily....lol
KaMLuNg, I went in for a loose shifter linkage. Left being told my shifter bushings were worn, my shifts were eating the gears in the trans, and while the trans is out, I should replace the clutch. The parts manager's father-in-law (was) a patient of mine. So he got my warranty to cover a new trans/shifter (warranty didnt want to pay for a new trans, but he discounted it enough that they paid for it). I paid for the clutch. So I basically have a '13 Corvette drive-train in now (warranty already paid 5.5K for a new rear diff last year). Guess I can't complain. BUT, the lesson is never to buy without some warranty/extended warranty in place, for sure. I paid 5K for a 5 year extended warranty (and they've gotten jacked up)

That would be beyond any of their technical abilities and I'm sure GM wouldn't want to pay for them to sublet the work out. Just cheaper/safer to change it all lol.

I kind of disagree about your view on warranties. The only time to ever deal with a dealership is if you are buying a new car which I would not do anyway.
I buy my own parts and can do my own work. If I can't do it I know a reputable shop that can for 1/3 the price of dealer with better service, knowledge and abilities.
When I have had warrantied cars and bring them in to dealer every little thing becomes a fight to get them to do it. So much arguing and wasted time doing that. Then they do half ass work on top of it.

What parts cost you the customer almost 5k? Also, where did the labor come from if the tranny was out wouldn't it be a minimal charge to install the clutch.

That parts price you see is discounted. New: 6-speed Z51 Manual Trans/associated hardware, 6-speed shifter, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, slave cylinder.
Clutch job on the C6 is a PITA. The trans and torque tube have to come out. I cut the labor in half by changing the clutch prophylactic-ally. I figured since everything is new, why keep an old clutch?

I thought he discounted it to a point that warranty would pick it up, not you? Ahhh fuck it, enjoy the car.
