Can a tight chain really crack the tranny case? If so I have a beef with my dealer. He just serviced it before my 5 min. ride that ended in distruction. Any idea on the cost for this repair? Warrantee is over.

Yes it can, especially if you have an older model without concentric drive. Even with the concentric drive, the chain will tighten as the suspension goes down. I would think you have a serious grievance.
