It wont void the motor either. Legally it cannot since they do not clearly state that in the warranty info. They can only refuse service for a particular problem.

All they can do is refuse to honor it for a specific problem IF they can prove something you did or added caused the issue.


lol, I have tried to explain this so many times. I think they need to put a filter on the word VOID and have it automatically changed to HONOR.

What kinda bumps are you guys Hitting.....40mph over speed bumps?.. Either I'm doing something different, or just know how to control my foot (due to training) better, cause I don't experience this jumpiness that you guys are refering to. And if it was jumping, I wouldn't notice it enough. It's not like its jumping a foot forward creating a risk of rear-ending another car or something is it?

Just that you don't roll up next to another tC that's turbocharged instead of S/C.

the heavy footitis syndrome isnt the problem, its the _____ footitis syndrome. my foot bounces heavily at any bump, working on it.

well thats not my issue so much as the roads in Richmond VA are almost to the level of suckage as being dirt roads. we have potholes here with no visible bottoms. i think i saw a tortured souol climb out of one last week.

for the record i havent had any F/I lash going on sinec im not F/I but 1st and 2nd gear can get a little jerky when the streets get super irregular. not a big deal right now as N/A.

An ETD is probably one of those items you consider a "Best Bang For Your Buck" type thing. The improvement is wonderful. Especially when you are F/I.
