Taking my car to the dealership

So I am taking my camaro to get the window motors checked, some small interior mishaps and my transmission because it grinds going from first to second. Do you guys think the gear grind will be a problem for them as I have changed to the richmonds? It is a very common problem in stock camaros, the gear grind from 1st to second. What do you guys think? Car does not have a tune yet.

Very unlikely they will fix it under warranty ... Your tune and gears pretty much killed that.

He said car does not have a tune...and I doubt they will check the gear ratio in the rear end when addressing the tranny

If you don't mention the gears I doubt anyone would notice, plus they would have nothing to do with a shifting gear clash so I wouldn't sweat it.
