Yeah, that sounded a bit fishy to me as well. As my mechanic said, duplicating the problem is very difficult. Will continue to keep a close eye on it.

Seriously, get it on a dyno. I always thought there was something off with mine, but when I was getting my RMW tune done Jan confirmed it with the data he got from the pull. And that convinced me to get rid of the car before the transmission became too much of a problem

Really isn't a bad idea. However, at this point I think the dealership is tired of me.

All they need to do is keep pushing you off until that 3 month warranty expires!!

They have been pretty successful at that. Heck, I am surprised I got them to replace the valve body and rear right brake caliper.
