these are higher ranges than i was expecting. have any of you had trouble with gearbox wear?

i just bought a used 986 and when i was having problems with 2nd i tried to get porsche to repair the box but when the dealer pulled the rpm report porsche said that the car showed too much activity in the upper range and would not repair the box. i am in the midst of fighting with the dealer to take it back (nj law says they have to take it back within 90 days but of course they are trying to find any reason not to).

so i am now curious as to how "pampered" the gearbox/engine rpm's have to be in order for porsche to be pleased with how you are treating the car.
i was shifting in the 2,500 range and i thought i was taking it easy on her but sounds like higher ranges are not disastrous.
