they may put it down on your record, but they still have to examine the
truck. you are allowed a second opinion, just like a doctor.

Subject: DML: Re: HELP!!! Dealer warranty problem from hurst shifter
I'm having the same problem (kind of).
I've never been happy with the way the 5spd shifts in my truck and have had
it to the dealer on a number of occasions. They always said it was fine.
I decided I wasn't going to bother anymore and installed the Hurst. Then I
decided to take it to another dealer and the first thing they said was that
it was the Hurst shifter causing all the problems. I let them know that it
behaved the exact same way with the stock shifter. I got that frown that
says 'Humour the customer'.
If I decide to pursue this, I will need to take the Hurst out and put the
stock shifter back in. What a pain.
As an aside, the second dealer also told me that if the first dealer had
already logged time against a warranty complaint, then I could not take it
to another dealer for the same complaint. So if you get a crappy dealer
first time around, you're screwed?
