nothing is impossible for a dealer.
A chrysler dealership told my friend he needed a new transmission on his 2005 6-speed manual wrangler.
Why he asks, well sir, because the gears are welded together and the tranny is blown.
This grave diagnosis was delivered after he drove the car across town to the dealership and dropped it off with his "blown" gearbox. Complaint was a clicking in reverse.
He argued, they replaced the gearbox under warranty, clicking noise was still there. Turned out it was the spider gears in the diff were slightly chipped.
Its a sad state of affairs that the direct sales representatives for enormous numbers of brand new cars from many different companies are totally incompetent as far as repair, but its the reality we live with. A dealer that can actually repair a dealer sold vehicle properly and diagnosis it with skill is rare.
