This issue comes up a lot. From experience, talking to people, and reading the law, it comes down to this: When you modify you are taking a risk. It all depends on not only the dealer, but the mechanic at the dealer, you end up with on how difficult they can be about modifications.

The law (federal which overides any state law) is exactly how I stated above. Check out SEMA's website. Unfortantly just because its the law, doesn't mean all parties envolved snap to attention to meet it. Just dig though the archives and read my experience with a particular insurance company/adjuster ( Interstate Insurance, Harbour Insurance Adjusters).

99% of the time gears or other such modifications make no difference in a warrantee question. The best policy is to know your dealer, and to both know your dealer's mechanics, and your speed shop.

Tip: Talk to the guys in the parts department. They will give you the real story, not the "line". Plus they always seem to know the best speed shops.
