Hey, I just discovered that I still have factory powertrain warranty left(til Mar. 22). I thought I was pretty much screwed unless there was a recall.

there are no "brand new" trannies..
they are GM SERTA remanufactured trannies with a 3yr / 100k mile warranty...
I have one in mine too...

So I need an opinion. 06MonteSS says the SERTA comes with a 3yr/100k warranty. When GM replaces mine, should I go ahead and do the upgrades from TEP that LS1Racing suggested or should I wait. If I do the mods that would void the warranty. But with the luck we have with these cars, while i am riding around on the warranty, the trans. will probably start to die and then once the warranty runs out it would **** the bed. What would you do? (if the mods fix the problem, I shouldn't have anything to worry about.)

Yes, the TEP upgrades will void the warranty, however, it's unlikely that you'll have anymore problems once you've done them.
By leaving the trans alone, your SERTA warranty will be in effect, but you're extremely likely to continue having problems.
GM put a SERTA trans in my Impala last October, and I did the TEP upgrades and shift kit about a month later. I've put about 5000 miles on it since I did that, and haven't looked back.
Remember, a SERTA trans doesn't address the root causes of our failures. It's just a rebuilt trans with all of the same flaws as the original.
Since you have a newer trans that may not yet be damaged, now would be the time to do the TEP upgrades, before you start finding material in the pan.

Here`s a thought...
You do not have to have it repaired at a GM dealership! To have GM pay for it...
Maybe someone should call the warrenty claims department and find out what they will cover as far as reinbursement. After all not every place you break down is near a dealer.

Well, I got a new one, just to be one the safe side, and also to improve drivability. I went with a lower stall converter, which really made the car feel more lively in the city and improved mileage slightly.
The converter I got from TEP was $199+core. Cheap insurance, if you want to make sure the trans didn't start to wreck the stock TCC.
