Can you get them to show you the linkage to verify that at least it is
in good shape? If you can, that will color your next decision. But DO
MAKE SURE THAT it is not a linkage problem. Really. Look for a cracked
bushing, or a slipping part, or something loose.

first owner warranty on trans is 5years/60,000miles. I guess it's possible
to have internal issues, but I have had one apart yet. How many miles on
car?

If they actually have to do the transmission make sure you SEE it when it's
removed. There's always the chance of them screwing you by doing a simple
linkage job and billing it as actual transmission work. And, of course, ask
for the actual parts replaced. Once it's done look at the
engine/transmission. If they actually pulled it apart it'll show signs of
having been cleaned.
