Understanding Your Extend Warranty (Included with Every Monster Transmission)

In our 20+ years of building transmissions, we’ve learned that peace of mind matters just as much as performance. That’s why every Monster Transmission now includes an Extend Warranty with your purchase no promo, no fine print gimmicks, just added protection built into the deal. If you’ve ever wondered how it works, what it covers, and why we decided to bundle it with every build, this post breaks it all down in the same straight-shooting way we run our shop.

We’ve heard the stories customers finishing a big build, life’s busy, miles stack up, and years later a question pops up: “Am I still covered?” With Extend riding shotgun, you are. We’ll walk you through how Extend fits with the Monster warranty, what to expect if you need a claim, and how this combo can protect you for up to 6 years on transmissions.

What Exactly Is the Extend Protection Plan?

When we say “Extend Warranty,” we’re talking about a protection plan that begins the day the Monster warranty ends. Your Monster Limited Warranty covers the early years. After that, Extend picks up the baton so you’re not left hanging. In plain English: Monster covers you first, and Extend continues coverage to deliver total protection of up to six years on transmission purchases (Monster term + Extend term).

Extend is designed for real-world, mechanical breakdown scenarios from normal use. You get a modern, hassle-reduced claim experience and nationwide support, which means you don’t have to live near Florida to be taken care of. If a covered component fails during the Extend term, you’ll work through a simple claim process and get back on the road fast.

What to Expect

How the Monster + Extend Combo Works

Here’s the flow. You purchase a Monster Transmission our Limited Warranty starts right away. When that term ends, your Extend plan begins the next day automatically. No new paperwork, no new hoops. This handoff is the whole point: continuous protection without gaps. Depending on your unit and plan length, your combined coverage can reach up to 6 total years.

Need a claim during the Extend period? You’ll submit it through Extend’s online portal or support line. They’ll guide you through what info is needed (order number, serial, VIN, mileage, install details). From there, Extend coordinates the next steps and we’re in the loop to help you get it squared away quickly.

Investment and Value

Why We Include Extend on Every Transmission

We build to last, but real life happens. Towing, heat cycles, daily miles all of it adds up. Including Extend gives you predictable ownership and a clear path if something goes sideways after the Monster term. It’s simple, it’s nationwide, and it keeps the experience feeling like Monster from day one to year six.

We also like that Extend’s process is modern and straightforward. You’re not chasing paperwork or waiting weeks for updates. And if you ever want a human who knows transmissions, call us and we’ll help you navigate the claim while Extend processes it. That “we’ve got your back” mindset is why we bundled it in no upsell required.

What Extend Is (and Isn’t)

Is: Coverage for covered mechanical breakdowns from normal use after your Monster warranty ends, with a streamlined claim experience and nationwide reach.

Isn’t: A maintenance plan or an excuse to skip proper install/fluids. It doesn’t cover abuse, neglect, racing use, or pre-existing conditions. And for transmissions, “accidental damage” and “battery” style protections you may see on other consumer products don’t apply here. Always review the plan terms for specifics.

Common Questions About the Extend Warranty (FAQ)

Q: Is the Extend Warranty really included with every Monster Transmission?
A: Yes. If you’re buying a Monster Transmission, the Extend plan is included no extra steps. It’s attached to your order and kicks in right after the Monster warranty ends.

Q: When does coverage start and how long does it last?
A: Your Monster Limited Warranty starts on day one of your purchase/installation per our terms. When that ends, the Extend plan begins the very next day. Combined, you can be protected for up to 6 years, depending on the model and plan term.

Q: How do I file a claim during the Extend period?
A: File directly through Extend’s claim portal or support line (you’ll receive details with your order). Prefer us to walk it with you? Call (800) 708-0087 and we’ll help coordinate while Extend processes the claim.

Q: Do I have to ship my transmission back to Florida for Extend claims?
A: Not typically. Extend supports a nationwide process. Depending on the case, they’ll coordinate options that make sense where you are. We’ll assist so you’re not stuck.

Q: Are performance builds covered?
A: Coverage applies to covered components under normal use. Abuse, competition/racing, or improper installation aren’t covered. If you’re pushing big power, talk to our team we’ll set expectations and document your setup so everything’s crystal clear.

Q: Does Extend cover maintenance items or fluids?
A: No extend isn’t a maintenance plan. Keep up with fluid, cooling, and install best practices. Good maintenance prevents problems and protects your coverage.

Q: What do I need ready if I file?
A: Your order number, transmission serial, vehicle VIN, current mileage, description of the issue, and installer information. Photos or diagnostic codes (if available) help speed things up.
