You can not "void" your entire warranty. The dealership can refuse to 
honor the warranty if it can be shown that the component you would 
like to have fixed under the warranty can be shown to have failed or 
malfunctioned as a result of the change you made to your car.

In other words if the repair on the transmission is WHOLLY UNRELATED 
to your exhaust (midmuffler) then the dealership can not refuse 
warranty repair.
