This does suck but in my opinion, if you mod your engine, in any way, expect to pay for repairs if something brakes. With that state of mind, I modded my car in a manner to prevent or at least HELP prevent any breakages due to the increased power.

I believe you have the LS3 manual and it sounds like you drive the car like you stole it. If you like driving like that, you would have been wise to leave the car completely stock because things are going to break and if you add anything to the engine, you will PAY for the repair, thats just life.

If you want more power, do the mods to make things as bulletproof as possible to help cover your rear but remember, things WILL break sometime.

Wheel hop has been an issue with these cars since they came out and its been strongly recommended that you get new axles, trailing arms and bushing for the diff and trailing arms to help control wheel hope as much as possible. Sounds like everything that your breaking is from the trans back. Could be weak parts but more likely how its driven.

Again, if you want to drive it like you stole it, talk to your dealer, take the headers off and keep it stock and see if they will cover your warrantee again but as mentioned, I suspect that your dealer suspects your driving the hell out of your car and to them that is abuse that is not covered by the factory warrantee.

If you want the power, build your car up to handle the added stress but still be ready to pay to play!!! Sorry for the bad luck but these are mechanical things, they brake when you play hard with them.
