First, there is no transmission TSB
Second, the tsb you are likely referring to is for the flywheel warpage. If so, why should he persue getting work done to repair a problem he does not have?
Its advise like this that makes it more difficult for those that actually NEED the repair to get it.
Just put 4:10 gears in the car...you may never have clutch flywheel warpage.
You are correct, it is a TB not a TSB (my error). The problem is that if you drive in the country a lot odds are it won't warp until much later in your warranty period, or even after. And if you garage it a lot and only put low miles on it, it will warp after the warranty expires. If you drive a lot in city driving it will warp sooner and within a short time frame such that the dealer will repair it no questions asked. I ran into a guy at the dealer last week with a 2008 who has 18,000 miles on his, and the dealer refused to cover it saying that it was "normal wear". He fortunately has a connection higher up at Ford (which I do not) who told the dealer to cover it. His was slipping in every gear, and it took out his 2nd gear synchro too. I'll probably only have 10,000 miles on my car when the 3 year warranty expires...so why should I be on the hook for a $3000 repair on an items that is well known for failure to the point that Ford had to put out a TB and provide upgraded parts? Additionally, my resale will be crap because the update was not done to it, and a buyer will be afraid of having to do the upgrade out of his own pocket at a future date.
This whole issue is not only spoken about on these forums, its the big subject at the cruise nights and car shows too. Everyone is well aware of it. When the dealer is giving a customer a rough time over such a warranty repair only because the owner drove it normally, without abuse, and made it last longer than some other customers did he should be commended for taking care of the car....not told he will have to pay for it out of his own pocket because he made it last too long.
I only have 1300 miles on my car. I don't drive it to work...so you can see why my opinion on this might be interpreted as biased in a different direction than yours $$$$$$. If they would give me the parts to keep on hand I'd fix it myself after the warranty expires, but we know there is no chance of that happening.
And yes, I agree that a 4.10 gear would probably solve the problem early, and even a 3.73 might do it. But I doubt that the dealer would foot the bill for that either!
