UPDATE: Well, the dealership where I bought it (Nissan) sent me over to the Pontiac dealership accross the way. Basically, I got the run around from them where all of the conversation was about me shelling out a $300.00 estimate before they could look at it. This had me getting in touch with 1st Extended where I learned alot about my warranty. It seems I got a better warranty than what I probably should have since the milage of the car was over the original factory one. I also learned that the dealership where it was bought has to either ok the work or decline it. Since the service manager there at the Nissan dealership doesn't seem to want to do the work, I now have the option to have it done by somebody of my choosing so tomorrow, it is getting looked at by a place that somebody I know recomended and hopefully, it's gonna get a new tranny very soon. The cost to me: a $50.00 deductable plus fluids, environmental fees and a few other things that the warranty doesn't cover. Much better than the $2700.00 that Nissan said it would probably take to replace. I'll let you all know how it goes.
ps, dealerships suck!! I joked with the service manager that he should provide the same kind of service that the sales floor gives (ie about a half dozen suits incoming) when I walk into their showroom. He didn't think that was too funny, lol!
