Do you think I should uninstall the intake and reinstall the stock before I do? Man the Gen 3 install was a real PITA. I would hate to have to take that thing off................

The problem with the intake I can see is it being a flag that gets noted. Doesn't matter if it really had anything to do with an issue. Even doesn't matter if the car is fixed without a problem by a particular dealer. It will probably be noted on your car. So in that regard it comes down to just how a particular dealer treats it. I mentioned it earlier since I know the difference between how much effort this intake takes to install compared to some others.
But then the other issue really is the lowering job. For something like a transmission issue I would consider this of greater importance and from what I see you may just have to bite the bullet if you take it into a dealer. You may want to see if there is a mod friendly dealer in your area and go there. At least he may be able to tell you if there will be any warranty issues with a particular mod. Just keep in mind that mods do create a risk for warranty repairs. I agree with a dealer who in some cases refuses to fix something under warranty due to what mods are present. In other cases I don't.
In your case for example I know of the issue with how lowering affects my other car in regard to all sorts of issue due to the change in angle of the half shafts without the engine/transmission spacer kit. If a similar issue is present in various Infiniti models then I would agree with the dealer refusal. However if there are no issues in this regard then I would not. You may want to research this to see if there are reported issues between a lowered Infiniti, half shaft wrapup causing transmission problems before pressing a dealer into action, one that you just may not like.
In your case it may well be that the transmission really isn't the source of your reported jerk, it may well be half shaft related and an easy fix, something you may want to consider by first taking it to a non Nissan repair shop.
