Holy smokes!

What you meant to say was you was pulling out into traffic and had to punch it. I would think it would be covered under warranty. Unless you want to get a different type.

that happened on my 88 F350 when I... ummm... took off from a light too fast

and the main reason why I run a driveshaft hoop on every truck I have. everyone laughs, but the $6 it costs in material saves how much in torn up parts...

Judging by the mods listed in a later post... I'm guessing his warranty is voided...

Time for an upgrade!
