Todays updates: I called today and the lady I was talking before (service manager) has gone on vacation for a few weeks.. so... guess i'm SOL for a few weeks while she's gone unless she's delegated the work to someone else...
If my mechanic wasn't my friend I'd be haggling him for answers. I mean the longer you wait the worse the tranny could or might get. You paid the money for your car including the warranty, now get back there and tell them you want service, and that you dont' give a rats *** about whether or not their service rep is on vacation. There are other higher authorities that can make that decision.

thats true, but on the phone i asked specifically for the person, not about my car. "Hi, is (name) in?" "no she's on vacation at the moment and won't be in office for a few weeks" i never identified myself so they aren't BS-ing me about her not being in. but I'll call to talk to someone else instead in a few days.. just busy with a lot of work at the moment.

I'll freely admit my post was somewhat angered, it was not bashing however. If you can't handle criticism, you shouldn't post. I'm just tired of people on forums (it's common on virtually all forums) who think it's right to mod a car, race a car and then expect a manufacturer to pick up the tab when it breaks. I'm not accusing you of this, I'm simply stating a point.
I'm late to this thread, but with an aftermarket LSD, there's not a chance in hell that it'll be covered by the warranty. The transmission has be opened and modified. That said, I'm wondering what the hell you're doing to your car that you've killed the synchros so quickly. Is my car just a freak or something? 130,000 miles, autocrossing, drag racing, and track days, and the trans shifts just like it was new.
Oh...and no need for the double de-clutch downshift here.
Just a rev match will do or perhaps a heel-toe from time to time.
