That leaves the dealer stuck with paying for the repair that should not have been done.

In short, the dealer is just looking out for themselves.

In the future, if you're taking your car in for warranty work, remove ALL of your aftermarket crap before you take it in! They don't warranty aftermarket parts, they warranty factory parts. Don't believe me? Put a Spec Stage III clutch in your car and try to get your tranny replaced under warranty.
