WARRANTY TERMS:
(1) This warranty covers parts, labor and the cost of replacing transmission fluid only. This warranty is NON-TRANSFERABLE and is only EXTENDED to the PERSON & VEHICLE NAMED ON THE INVOICE. It does not cover towing, loss of use, loss of earnings, personal damages, per diem expenses, or any other consequential or incidental damages. Warrantor’s obligation under this warranty is limited to replacing or repairing defective parts and correction of defectively furnished labor.
(2) It also DOES NOT COVER transmissions whose engines have been modified to produce more output (horsepower or torque) beyond the original design limits of the transmission. These items include, but are not limited to, superchargers, turbochargers, nitrous oxide, aftermarket fuel injection systems, internal engine modifications, or replacement engines larger than those that came with the vehicle. Or vehicles that have had drivetrain modifications that cause a load on the transmission that exceeds the original design limits. These items include, but are not limited to: substantially larger tires or a change in the differential gear ratio (one that is not available as an option with the vehicle). Or if the vehicle exceeds the designed gross weight suggested by the manufacturer (i.e., heavy tool chests, boom, etc.), or towing an item that is heavier than the towing limits placed by the vehicle manufacturer.
(3) The work performed can many times fail, due to no fault of the warrantor. Parts related to, but not part of the transmission, can fail after the transmission job is completed, thereby adversely affecting the transmission, torque converter or seals. Under these circumstances, your warranty is not valid. In no way can the warrantor predict these events, and therefore is not responsible for them. A partial list of related parts is set forth in the next paragraph.
(4) The warrantor is responsible only for the parts and labor purchased by the customer on the invoice that prompted issuance of this warranty, and not for subsequent failures of, or damage resulting from related parts or units as shown in the following: these items consisting of, but not limited to:
A. Levers
B. Controls
C. Linkage
D. Radiator
E. Coolers
F. Rubber mounts
G. External oil lines
H. Electrical/electronic components (computer control units, actuators, sensors, solenoids, faulty wiring, etc.) external to the transmission.
The foregoing and other parts are not normally included in or with a transmission repair job.
(5) Coverage on a front-wheel-drive vehicle will be excluded if the differential and/or case fail due to UNINTENTIONAL/INTENTIONAL misuse (i.e.: stuck in the mud, ice/sleet on streets/roads, steep inclines, etc.).
(6) This warranty will not be valid if the vehicle has been used for towing purposes unless a proper transmission cooler has been installed on the vehicle. Nor will it be valid if the transmission assembly has been tampered with outside a qualified repair shop; or if it has been improperly installed by other than the shop of the warrantor; or if factory-approved fluid has not been used in the assembly; or if there has been unintentional/intentional misuse, or damage in an accident.
(7) This warranty will NOT BE VALID IF ALTERED in any way.
B. PROPER MAINTENANCE – INSTRUCTION TO CUSTOMER
(1) Have transmission checked within 15 days from the date of delivery for oil levels, leaks & shift patterns. The warrantor shop will do this for you without charge.
(2) Check fluid level in the transmission every time you check your motor oil, for the first 60 days.
(3) Change fluid, clean pan, replace filter in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations as listed in your owner’s manual.
(4) Retain your service receipts and invoices as proof of proper maintenance.
OLDER VEHICLE SERVICE DISCLAIMER — VEHICLES 1995 AND OLDER
Due to the age, condition, and design of vehicles 30 years old or older, repairs and services performed on these vehicles may involve conditions and complications that cannot be reasonably anticipated during the initial inspection or estimate.
Leak Repairs: We will make every reasonable effort to identify and repair the reported leak; however, we cannot guarantee that a leak will be completely eliminated. Age-related deterioration, corrosion/rust, heat exposure, hardened or distorted components, heat-shaped parts, unavailable or discontinued original equipment parts, and variations in aftermarket replacement parts may affect the ability to complete the repair. Additional leaks or related failures may also become apparent after the vehicle is returned to service.
Estimates: All estimates are based on the vehicle’s condition and the information available at the time of inspection. An estimate is not a guarantee of the final repair cost. Due to the age and condition of older vehicles, additional parts, labor, repairs, or related components are highly probable and may be required once disassembly or further diagnosis is performed. Additional work will be communicated to the customer as soon as reasonably possible before proceeding.
Rebuilt/Remanufactured Components: Installation of a rebuilt, remanufactured, or reconditioned transmission or other component does not make the vehicle equivalent to a new vehicle or provide the same operating characteristics as a new vehicle. A rebuilt transmission installed in a vehicle over 30 years old is still being installed in an older vehicle with other aged components. Existing wear, tolerances, drivetrain components, electronics, controls, and other vehicle systems may affect operation, shifting, performance, noise, vibration, or overall drivability. A rebuilt or remanufactured component is not warranted to make the vehicle drive or perform like a new vehicle.
Aftermarket Modifications and Accessories: Any aftermarket equipment, modifications, accessories, wiring, performance components, alarms, remote-start systems, stereos, suspension modifications, engine modifications, or other non-original equipment installed prior to our service may affect the vehicle’s electrical, mechanical, computer, or other systems. We are not responsible for failures, interference, damage, or complications caused by pre-existing aftermarket modifications or equipment, including issues that may become apparent during or after service.
By authorizing repairs, the customer acknowledges that an older vehicle may have age-related conditions and unforeseen complications that cannot be fully identified before disassembly or service begins. The customer understands that additional repairs, parts, labor, and expense
