i don't know how honda can prove that a motor that is making around 150 to the wheels could cause premature failure of the tranny. did the tech diagnose what the problem was? if it is your clutch for example, forget it, that is a normal wear part. but anything else should be covered under your drivetrain warranty regardless of performance mods. it's not like you put a turbo on there or anything. there is no way for you to prove what a tranny can handle in the argument you are trying to make because they stated "premature failure", which of course means failure before normal, how they determine when it should fail is the problem. i recommend going onto the sema website www.sema.org and checking for more info, i think they have warranty attorneys on their as well or at least info. you have a legitimate claim and they should not deny you service. i'd call honda right back and start bitching constantly. and forget about the dealership, they don't have to do anything they don't want to.
