I don't know of anything to substantiate that claim. From what I've read when you reflash the ECU it leaves a record just like if you disconnected the battery for 15 minutes.

As long as that is the case, you should be able to reflash to stock with no definitive trace of there ever having been a tune. If you are paranoid about it, you could replace your battery so you have a viable explanation for the flash.

As far as the shifter goes, that would only affect warranty repair if it was the root cause of damage to the car.

I understand and I agree.

However, given the new TSB, isn't Ford all anti mods of any sort now? What's annoying is that, I talked to my dealer, and I asked them if they would warranty any work having to do with the transmission (say, there's grinding of gears, etc) if I had an aftermarket shifter installed?

Now I KNOW the shifter has absolutely NOTHING to do with transmission issues... but according to them, they said even if they (dealer) is okay with it, but if they have to go through Ford corporate to approve the warranty, Ford themselves may give me grief and ultimately refuse warranty to me just because I have that shifter.

Complete BS, I know.... but still, now I'm all worried about getting my shifter

He did state that I could always put the stock shifter back on there, which is fine.... but still, just a pain in the a$$.
