Because they denied my warranty and wanted nearly $4,000 to install another stock transmission.. that's why!

I figured since they were denying my warranty, and I've made a lot of friends during the networking process, I could get a better transmission AND lsd for a substantial amount LESS... and have it installed somewhere else. I'm perfectly okay with admitting that it's not something I can do myself, which is why I'm fine with paying someone else to do it.

The new transmission was assembled.. All they had to do, since the new transmission was shipped directly to them, not in the car.. was install the LSD.

I'm currently looking for an attorney to pursue VW/First Team legally over my warranty.
