Nice! Probably something they should have offered in the first place.

That's good news. Glad to hear they did the right thing without too much hassle.

Why do dealers recommend services and others don't recommend since its lifetime...So confusing...

Don't think the TC or differentials are lifetime. The transmission is they say. But I could be wrong. I know I'm about due for all three lol

Glad they replaced it for you. That could have been a huge problem later on down the road.
