2.5TL Transmission Screen
I'm new to the site, but thought I'd say "thanks" for the tip on replacing the screen on the transmission. My tl has 144,000 on it and I thought the tranny was done, changed the screen on Friday and it is shifty super smooth compared to what it was. The downshift when accelerating can be a little clunky, but still much better than before. Definitely get a new screen, too. Once you pull it out, you'll see why.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I hope you changed the tranny fluid also. If you have never done it before, or it has been a long time, you should do the triple drain and refill, where you drain the fluid, put in (I'm pretty sure it is) 3 qts, drive for 5 minutes, drain, refill and drive again, then drain and refill again.
This is cheap insurance and will make a big difference. I had a 96 3.2TL and it was getting sluggish until they did this procedure.

I only use the Acura ATF. Transmissions are very expensive and genuine fluid is not much more than the regular stuff.
I have an 04TL now and the fluid was really dark at 20,000 miles, so I got Acura to do the triple drain and refill just as a precaution, and so far everything is fine with my tranny.

this writeup is for the 3.2L... but the procedure is basically the same... just different part numbers... good luck...

and if you see the difference in a triple drain and fill, the Legend guys are doing 4X and even 5X drain and fill in their cars... 250k miles plus and no probs...
