transmission problem need help ASAP

my transmission was acting weired for past few days(delay, weired shifting)

so i m about to take my car to dealer...

but i recently installed grounding kits ,,, should i remove those before go to

the dealership?

not sure if gounding kits have anything to do with the transmission,,

im not saying problem happened because of the grounding kits,,,

i just don't want to give any chance for dealers to avoid my warranty because of the grounding kits

if i have to remove it i m just going to sell it for cheap price..

AT or MT?

Regardless, the Grounding Kit should not cause a problem, but I'd probably take it off just to be sure they don't hassle you about it.

Yeah, I'd take it off if you have AT. The dealer would have to prove the grounding kit caused the problem to deny your warranty, but is it really worth the hassle.

Taking it off temporarily will be much easier than having to fight with the dealer and consumer affairs if they do have a problem with it.

My thoughts exactly.
Why risk it - it's not hard to take off.

I agree with the consensus. It's not the problem with your tranny, but who knows what the dealer might try to blame it on to deny responsibility and get out of reapiring it underwarranty? Take it off.

Help the uninformed here - what is a "grounding kit"? Is it a ground-effects kit?

If so, what would that have to do with a transmission problem?

Grounding Kits help with your shifting and what not... You might wanna run a search on "Grounding Kit"... Or you could check out the vendors area... Black Betty makes great ones for a killer price...
