What Should You Document If Problems Start Soon After Install?

Many transmission warranty reviews involve the **first 500 miles** after install — often fluid, cooler flow, seals, or programming — regardless of pre-replacement mileage.

Before any unit is removed under warranty:

  • Odometer photos at delivery and at symptom onset
  • Scan tool report (stored and pending codes)
  • Fluid type, level, and condition notes
  • Install invoice with date and shop name
  • Photos of leaks **before** cleanup
