Bull pucket! Your warranty should only be voided if the part you change causes the other parts to fail. This is a written act won in court. This means that if the new clutch fails then they are not responsible for it. This also means that if the trans breaks they can void the trans warranty also. They have to prove it was the clutch that caused the failure to deny the trans warranty though. They cannot deny warrantying any part that they can't provide proof the damage was caused by the aftermarket part. Now remember, all this is just in theory, since they can technically do whatever they want. It is up to you to fight them on it. Hope this helps.
Um, your warranty will get "restricted" not VOID, there's a difference...if your exhaust breaks then it is still supposed to be covered under warranty, but if something involving the clutch in ANY way breaks...then you're screwed....but hey, your headlights will still have a warranty! Check out the Mitsu Voiding Warranties thread on here...bad news, I know
