I bought a new Nissan pickup truck two years ago, with the diesel
engine and 5-speed transmission.  The transmission has now failed,
at 47000 miles.  I am told the the front main bearing failed, and
destroyed the case.  When I bought this vehicle, because it is a diesel,
I also bought the "extended service contract".  The people who carry
the contract are now saying that they're not liable, and won't pay,
because the "engine is too strong for the transmission", and causes
the bearings to fail in the kind of driving (commute, mostly) that
I do, therefore this is normal wear.  
Has anyone else heard of this kind of situation?  Does this sound like
a crock?  Has anyone any suggestions?
