Low tread, can they say I was doing peel outs, driving aggressive, thats why the tranny took a dump?
The burden of proof would be on them to PROVE that you were the cause!!

To my knowledge, the tranny is a bigger repair. I once had a tranny replaced and the car was never quite the same again.

Exactly my point. It's a pretty big-time repair.
