Sounds like they are just trying to fob you off with a dumb excuse. I don't think they've got a leg to stand on. At the very least they should offer a complete rebuild. Giving them the chance to put it right.
Who supplied the gear sets? You or them?
How many days after you paid for it did it blow up?
do they offer a warrenty as standard?
My personal experience of these guys only got as far as ringing up for a quote. The guy was over priced for a general rebuild (the quote he gave me) and sounded like he didn't really have time to talk to me, so I went locally.

sod the messing about. Got on the blower today to trading standards. They are brutally uprated! Told me exactly what to do so i'm following their instructions and writing a letter to CTS and keeping a copy for court if it happens to get this far. CTS said they will not repair the box on their own back.
Have a guess what condition I recieved the gearbox in after it was "overhauled" I asked for a thorough check over of everything and to go ahead and replace anything that looks worn or damaged. Included in the bill, I have Strip & Rebuild, full set of bearings & seals... Now, what they failed to notice was that the clutch fork pivat bush had worn right through to the metal...They drain bung was finger tight or should I say finger loose when I got the box back from them. I also took the liberty MYSELF to spray the titanic looking manky gearbox they sent back. Savagely WANK service. AVOID!

Answer is no, whether you'd thrased the **** out of it or not. Maybe if you'd done 1000miles, but not if you say 100.
