I think the dealership has to prove that what you did to your car (SRI) was in direct relation to what is wrong/being worked on... so you should be fine.

if it's carb legal then theres no way in hell they shouldnt warranty your transmission. unless you did something obviously wrong, like cut a hole in your transmission to put the air filter in

here's one of the warrenties that honda does not cover:

"Any failure caused by modifying the vehicle, or installing accessories not authorized by Honda."

Honda's ECU systems are still plenty behind GM's, but on chevy vehichles you can scan back quite a ways with the tech 2 for over revs and high load situations to check for engine abuse from a client, hell it even takes snapshots and stores them to memory. Honda most likely has the same ability, just less playback memory/history.

I doubt the dealer will blame you for anything, unless of course you powershifted your tranny to hell and broke a blocker ring or something of the sorts. Since a SRI has no way of directly affecting a transmission they cant deny you a claim becuase of it.

If you install an intake without a water bypass valve, it voids the warranty.
