Since the car is 5 years old, the dealer will say everyhing that you need fixed is normal wear and tear so not covered. You will most likely not get anything fixed under warranty.
True, so let me make this a little more generic.
Is anyone aware of any mainstram auto magazine reviews of the 2nd generation viper. Somebody must have tested the thing at some point!!!!
The previous thread got me thinking of looking for other Viper reviews online.
So I checked:
http://www.motortrend.com
http://www.caranddriver.com
http://www.roadandtrack.com
Did none of these mainstream magazines review the 2002 Viper?
Any links to reviews would be appreciated.:dunno:
I have the same problem:

A good use for the ramps is changing the oil, transmission fluid, and they were really handy when I took the transmission out. Plus they don't leave scrathes on the frame.
Quite a stretch? It's like an extra couple inches...
I guess I find it easier with the ramps. You don't even have to...
To use the jackstands you have to stick them under the frame which is quite a stretch. The ramps are way easier to slide under the wheels. Plus I already have the ramps.
Regular ramps work real good on a Viper. I jack up the car and then slide them underneath.
After seeing 2 people drive off the end of the ramps and messing up their fenders I would not drive up on them even if I could.
Isn't the price a little ridiculous for adding another foot.

I have searched all over and been unable to find it. I even try purchasing it from DODGE/CHRYSLER on CD but they said they are out of them. The closest I got was the Transmission service manual online.
I ended up getting one on EBAY.
It was the exact same Syntorq transmission fluid recommended. I originally changed the fluid to see if maybe that would cure the hard shifting problem. But it did not.
So when I took it apart I bought the same exact fluid I had before.
I now have the transmission in pieces. I am going to try installing the Shim kit this time and see if it cuts down on the noise.
Any ideas on what else to check?
Well, it started when I put the transmission back. No whine before.
And it does not whine if I take it out of gear. So if I am in 6th gear and I take it out of gear at 80 mph there is no more whine. Actually if I just lift off the gas the whine stops.
I took my transmission apart to fix an issue with how hard shifting had become. I polished all the bushings and it now shifts like a dream, one finger operation, even in reverse.
BUT
On reinstalling everything back together the transmission now has a whine at the end of forth gear and more...

28 Back
Without stickier tires it's a loosing proposition.
Recommended tires: Kumho 710's. Very similar to the Hoosier autocross tire but cheaper.
So you guys still recommend the cheapest one?

By the way, where can you get the champions cheap?
