Skip the the obvious examples (applying 1500ft-lbs through a 600ft-lb transmission, downshifting to 1st at 100mph, etc...)
Does abuse mean taking your car to the track and racing it?
Does abuse mean sidestepping a clutch at redline?
How is abuse objectively determined?
Who has the burden of proof...the customer, or the manufacturer?
After reading this thread, I'm honestly afraid to buy a manual transmission if the burden of proof in situations like this is expected to be with the customer. You can't prove you didn't abuse it. Period.
And, if it comes down to personal reputation as a basis of whether or not to honor a warranty claim on a material purchase, that's pretty scary too. You decide someone is a liar, and poof...warranty void!

In this case Johnny misses the shift dumps the clutch when the gear is not fully engaged. Then drives the car home with the trans all screwed up and does even more damage. calls us and says I was going to the store and third gear is gone. Mean while his buddy post on the moparts forum about a guy that lost 3rd gear on the track this weekend and low and behold it was Greg.
No one is calling names here this is a case of glutony someone wanted something for nothing. I have proof he was misleading. you have read it in black and white.
Shifting gears is not for everyone, its just the only way to go.
There are way to many people out there burning rubber and having fun with these transmissions for you to be scewed by this guy. If you dont buy one from us at least buy one from someone else.
It is definatly better when you stick it !
