Had new seals put in a transmission 4 years ago only put 5,000 miles on since transmission was leaking but it was not running hot or no indication of a problem but there was a leak coming from the transmission towed the car to rydell Chevrolet in Reseda he said the warranty had expired but there's only 5,000 miles since the work has been done he gave me a quote of 5,200 they took the transmission apart and he told me my clutch plates were burnt and the seals had to be replaced the reason I haven't taken the car and it was because of the pandemic and all the other problems going on used to be my dad's Corvette he died so I never took the car in until 4 years later no they don't want to cover any kind of warranty on the car because the four years went by but how could all this happen and just 5000 miles. I don't think this is fair because it's only 5,000 miles since transmission seals have been put in have been put in is there anything I can do to make the warranty exist or talk to a technician who would know anything about this

Welcome to the forum. Sorry about the loss of your father.

I would RUN, RUN from the stealership. Contact a local corvette club and get references for a good independent corvette shop.

If you want to battle them about the warranty, that’s up to you but they know how to back out of everything…..just my two cents.

Good luck.

They’re a big car dealer. I would find the name of the owner of Rydell. Write him or her a nice letter and maybe they can work with you.
