One is required maintenance schedules, and the other I was referring to was the Manufacturer Warranty which covers the warrantable components nothing to do with the required maintenance requirements.
if you still not in agreement with these statements refer to your owners manual.

In post 57 you can see Gary0426 is responding to a comment from f1rob about required maintenance for fluid. But Gary0426 claims he was talking about the expiration of the B2B. Whatever. I thought he was responding to f1rob's comment (since he quoted it) about changing the fluid every 36 months and he was just adding the mileage requirement to it. And I honestly thought when he wrote 36K mileage requirement it was just a typo - and he meant 45 k miles since he was responding to remark about the fluid change. But if he says he was talking about the warranty expiration instead, who am I to argue. He knows what he meant, I suppose. And, since his subsequent clarification said 36 thousand miles, it sounds like he meant the B2B. My comment was meant as a correction to what I thought was a typo - certainly not an affront to his knowledge.

But your'e right, MarkMeHopeful, The DCT is covered by the 5/60 Powertrain warranty. And, although Gary0426 referred to the Owner's Manual in his clarification, the terms of the factory warranties do not appear in there. They are found in the Warranty Manual which is a separate document. The maintenance schedule is found in the Owner's Manual, of course.
