You would think: But it wasn't too hard picking up the Phone to Verify !

anyone think the extended is still worth it now that the tranny is covered?

I still feel the 6-speeds should be offered a warranty too....like I posted in another thread...what discrimination! Anyways, I wonder what they meant by saying "some" '03 CL/TL's...I was also under the impression they fixed this problem on the '03s.

guys, just to send us the letters about the tranny, its going to cost Honda about 384,000 bucks!!! hahahahah (1.2 million letters times 32 cents a peice for postage....not to mention the cost of the paper and printing the letters....hahahahah) this letter alone will likely cost them over 400,000 bucks!! let alone the trannys they have to replace now

There has not been one problem with the 6-speed tranny... should there be one... I'm sure Acura will cover that as well... but for now there's no reason to even mention it.....

Greedy?
I had my Actulater go twice.
I had my Radio go once ( waiter 2 months for new one )
I had my roters resurfaced twice due to steering wheel pulsing when breaking hard.
I had my tranny go..
I dont think asking for a full warrenty is too much to ask for, this is a billion doller corp.

dad was telling a story about a guy (i don't know what model or honda or acura) I guess he was behind a slower car or truck and he went out to pass him(and he had one of these cars that being recalled) and he pulled out to pass him(this was a 2 lane highway) he got about 1/2 way around the guy and the tranny locked up and he went into a slide at 80 mph I guess the guy okay but it totalled the car
but you gotta gotta admit you guys got a good car other than the tranny and now you got backing from Honda on the tranny so your set

not everyone has those problems. the tranny issue was a serious one that had a higher than average incident rate. it is right for Honda to only cover the tranny in the extended warranty.

All models with the defective tranny. Which means that tranny was put in all those cars and it means all of them made with that tranny are getting it.
DUH

I wrote.... "They are only warranting the cars that have had replacements, or have (or are having) problems....."
I should have put the word "could" in front of have, but I didn't. Anyway, what I typed is basically what you typed and what the article said.... cars that had problems, are having problems, or could have problems. That would be the 1.2 million or so cars mentioned in the article now wouldn't it?
Sometimes I just think you like to hear yourself type

Best of all is the fact Honda is going to be reimbursing anyone who had to pay for a replacement transmission out of their own pocket. I know this is going to be great news to anyone out there who went through that. But I do love the extended warranty part because I know my transmission is covered for like another 5 years or 70,000 miles.

You can bet this would have never happened if not for the wide spread publicity of the Internet. I love it.
My service manager just the other day was giving me crap when I asked questions about it. This will shut her up. Pissed me off that she would not even acknowledge anything, just kept asking 'are you having a problem'. All I wanted to know is when they broke in the changes for the fix. She just wouldn't volunteer to find out for me. I finally asked her if she has no intention of asking the question, she finally said she would try.

Now I was asking dad if it was a quality issue that caused all these trannys to act up. he said no it was a poor design on the engineer's part.( i forget exactly what he said but it was something like this, something was grinding or rubbing which cause metal shaving to go down into the bottom of the tranny which got into the bearing(which if any you guys do anything mechianical you guys know it's a must to keep bearings clean and greased. then the shavings out get sucked up in the oil pump for the tranny and then it would plug it up and no oil(or very little) could get into the pump and it would lock up the tranny.

wait do I get an extended warranty as well? I have 99TL, so the 4speed transmission which still fails, maybe not as much but certainly have seen posts from other 99TL guys that have had theirs die. The article didnt say 99

Happy CL-S Pilot
great.. now at 41Kmiles I have fears about my tranny starting to shake when shifting or lifting up on gas....
I already have a FREE Acura 6/years 100,000 miles Extended Power train warrenty. Acura is making it a better deal for 7-years/100kmiles on the tranny only. now if I hit 90 kmiles and the tranny dies... The newer tranny should hold up for an extra 100,000 kmiles.
I am all set now.

Since the problem has been identified, I'm going assume they've fixed it as well...
Let's hope that's the case...
