I'm thinking of taking the SVT for the problems I'm having and all work should be done under warranty. Has anyone dealt with them? Is there another dealership I should go to?

I bought my car there, and had the first few services done there.
Other than the one time I waited 2 hours for an oil change and got no apology, it's a great full service dealership. They'll even wash your SVT free (on premise) and give you a loaner if it's not for regular maint. work. Talk to Arthur.
2002 SVT mostly stock...K&N, KVR Carbon Fibre Brakes, Steeda Short Shifter, Steeda Carbon Fibre Dash Kit and no DAMN orange blinkers!

Dixie ford seems to be jerking me around quite a bit on this clutch tsb. First of all. they told me a rental car would be provided. I purposley mentioned my age.. and i guess the service advisor didnt know too much about it and said "yes, a free rental will be provided once you bring your car into service" next. the car was brought in that night. and i picked it up the next day. The service advisor told me that they would replace all parts including my clutch disc. which they will be charging me $150.00 for... even though the faulty throwout bearing causes uneven clutch wear." either way. they gave me back my car thursday night and said the parts will be in by tuesday. Now theyre telling me that they wont be servicing the car and theres nothing they can do. because they did the same service on another svt and the problem came back. as it stands now, im waiting for a call back from the service manager.

So you got the loaner?
As for the repairs, I'd call SVT and let them know what is going on and see what they say.
If it were me, I'd be calling the service manager today and ask what is going on with your claim.
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.

Well I picked up my car yesterday. They changed the horn, intake manifold, fixed exhaust rattle and reprogrammed the PCM with the latest program. Car runs great. It was all fixed under warranty.
