I never said that the dealer went ahead by themselves and replaced the tranny without Mazda's authorization. Of course they justified the reason for replacement and got paid. What do you think, they require an engineering delegation to come down from Japan to investigate the issue? There's certain process, a paperwork to be filed, and that's it.
Things I saw done under warranty...
From own experience, that kind of thing is authorized by corporate. Likely the trans is going to be sent somewhere or locally inspected to make sure there isn't some underlying design issue.
