[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1939012, member: 3455"] Joyride is completely inexcusable - and that's one of the reasons I own my shop and a dyno! If a customer has complaint - I just go with them on a drive, customer behind the wheel. On the flip side - the invasion of privacy is plain criminal! The fact that some of you are "ok" with it - simply boggles my mind. P.S. If anyone cares, here is my observation (from professional point of view) The car came in with 39k and "the gears would grind" problem. Wear on the disk really depends on the driving technique - and 39k isn't' really out of norm, especially for a 4000lb SS Camaro with 426hp; basically what I'm saying it needed a clutch job anyhow. Dealership offered him free pressure plate (drivetrain warranty) and owner pays for "disk" - which is a normal wear part: sounds like a fair offer. I am not defending the "joy ride" in any sense; but we are listening to one sided story - he says "parking lot speeds" - who's there to say that he didn't tell mechanics that the problem happens on high-rpm one-two shift? which than indeed would require spirited driving. Either way - the dealership should take care of the clutch, and the guy should have criminal charges for invasion of privacy - just my $.02 [/QUOTE]
