Transmission Fluid Leak After SC Install

Transmission Fluid Leak After SC Install
I noticed a small spot of tranny fluid on the garage floor so I took the car to the guys who did the SC install and sure enough I have a fluid leak. It is coming from one of the seals on the tranny. Is there any chance this will be covered under warranty or am I "up the creek without a paddle" so to speak?
The guy who did the install actually used to work at the dealership I am taking the car to Monday and he doesn't believe the SC or tune should make the tranny seals leak. I know the pressure in the tranny lines is bumped up some but it is 10% or less. Any opinions?

The stock trans on the V6 was never designed to handle a supercharger. You may get by but there are no guarantees. The TR-6060 was designed to handle the torque from a high performance engine, which is why they are used on the C6 Vette/Z06/ZR-1, GT500/GT500KR, Challenger SRT-8, and Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR.

Good catch, shift line pressure isn't found on the calibration for cars with manual transmissions. The French 5R55S is known to handle quite a bit of abuse, but again, Ford never intended it for high torque applications.

Agreed... it has it limits. But that seems to be in the low 10-sec or high 9-sec range... which is good enough for me!
