Haven't there been cases of ford replacing the ZF outside warranty periods due to the milkshake?

Ford only tend to help outside of warranty when the car has a full FORD service history and the warranty has only recently run out.

Sorry champ was hoping it wasnt the case. This has made it a definite purchase of a extended warranty for me when my factory warranty runs out in March.
