will the dealership be able to tell a tranny swap?!? my tranny is garbage basically...it grinds and pops out of gear...the sliders and syncros are the culprits..
My buddies t56 is not and is under warranty for another year
He offered his tranny to me as a direct swap, then he would take mine over and see if they will fix it under warranty....
will this work?? or are they specifically numbered blabla....
I know this may sound like a **** ball thing to do, but I am very broke and cannot afford a rebuild at the moment, plus I would like to drive my car again!
Thanks

I don't think they're marked. That is sort of a shitty thing to do, good that you have good friends though cause I'm sure that is considered some type of fraud.

That's what I picture them saying, at least.
