No you won't. I know I've told this story, and maybe even in this thread, but you don't need a lawyer. it's plain English. The DEALER has to PROVE it was the part in question that caused the failure or an otherwise warrantied part. Not 'we thingk it coudl have" or "it might have", but solid proof. Now a dealer might decide to take it to court but if you really are in the right, they'll be paying your lawyer fees too.

Having said that, this is NOT the case here. His chip affected engine output. Enough to cause a valve problem? Maybe, maybe not. Them taking away the tranny warranty is a bit much but I can see their point. More engine power means more stress on the tranny as well.
