So Ive been getting a grinding when going from 1st to 2nd the cars an 09 with 8500 miles on it. it started back in the winter when the engine was cold now its getting worse does it at random times even with the engine fully warm .
my question is well since i heard they will void your warranty if you have a short shifter i have a twm stage 2 ss so i wondering if i replace the shifter with the stock one will i be good warranty wise? will they look at the area under the gear shifter inside the interior? the housing for the shifter was slightly damaged while the short shifter was being installed

 

Just take it in an tell them what it is doing. Don't mention any other parts or anything you've done. It is not relevant. If the transmission is bad, it is bad. A short shifter is not going to cause that.

Just take it in and tell them what is wrong. That's it.

 

i would just replace the ss to stock and bring it in to the dealership, dont mention anything about modding anything in the car

 

it may not be responsible but another sl member got his warranty voided on his tranny for it

 

that's what i am thinking what worries me is the shifter cage is damaged i am wondering if they'll look inside the car and see the damage? therefore voiding the warranty that's my biggest worry.

 

so i replaced the twm stage 2 ss with the stock shifter now its smoother than ever no grindng I guess maybe it was too aggressive IDK

 

a short shifter wouldn't do anything like that...

you shifting incorrectly would though... so at that point.. the short shifter caused you to shift improperly would be the logical reasoning..

 

wouldn't matter if it was slow or a fast shift it would do it with the clutch touching the carpet .all i know know is the stock shifter feels feels smoother whether shifting fast or not.
even when i drove the car cold today no grind i figured maybe the ss needed to be readjusted . i loved driving my car today with the stock shifter though now my obx shift **** now looks retarded
