I dont want to make you worry, but if its a major issue and they find out that its been tuned, they will more than likely void your powertrain warranty and you will have to pay for repairs out of pocket. Even if you put your tune back to stock, they can tell that its been tuned. They may not be able to tell if its been tuned at the local dealership level, but if its a major warranty repair they will call in a regional manager or something like that to make the final decision and they will check. The air intake should not matter. I have a mod friendly service manager as long as there is no tune. Best piece of advice is to be up front with the service manager and they may work with you.

Good luck

They are going to have to prove that your tune directly affected your tranny problem. Since your tranny isnt conneceted to the motor which has the tune there shouldnt be a problem.
