Am I missing something here? Surely if you purchased Anything from anywhere, let alone car parts from a car dealership it would be covered by some sort of warranty.
This also begs the question IF it was overfilled with oil in the first place, and that caused a problem who's fault was that?
Sorry BUT if you bought (regardless of who fitted it) a gearbox that was faulty in some way then it is down to the dealership to rectify. I think they are trying to have you over!
Do you have consumer protection laws?

In any case, they have come back and agreed that the replacement box and/or the manner in which it was installed, did not resolve my original complaint, so they are putting in a second replacement box at no cost to me.

Ok! MacSid Hopefully it will get resolved for you finally!
I still feel they are/were trying it on though. It is definately their responsibility purchased or not. They get a 'box' off the shelf as it were and it proves to be u/s, tough, then they just get another until they get it right.
Just think, these modern components don't have much in the way of human intervention when assembled, say there was a problem with the assembly line and there was a whole batch of weak components...... 'Er! Can we offer you a mortgage sir so that you can pay for this bunch of gearboxes until we manage to sort it?'
