Hey All:

Slightly off autox content, but our '98 Jetta 2.0 which we have the basic 
common springs, bars, wheels/tires, chip, intake , short shifter kit, just 
blew out 2nd gear at 32k, sounds terrible, 2nd won't engage.  Dealer says due 
to shift kit, the 100k drivetrain warranty won't cover.  Any tips, consumer 
groups to contact to perhaps help persuade dealer to cover repair ?  Internet 
search indicates this is a fairly common and quietly ignored weakness in the 
tranny by the company.  I'm thinking if defect is common, maybe NTSA, SEMA, 
VW at the corporate level.  Have no chance in court I suppose as the warranty 
of course says any mods, non-factory parts may void warranty.  Thanks for any 
help !
