207,777 miles time to retire 05 abp tsx =(
 
Might be time to retire the car, i'm running into more problems with the tranny, shift sensors and solenoids are causing the car to not shift properly. Sad to see it go but this car made a good run 0- 207,777


some recent pictures of the car

ABP TSX

Well guys i've made it, other than the tranny problem and some burning oil the car is still holding up.

I thought it would be perfect to take a picture of the car in front of the dealership it came from. They haven't seen an abp in awhile they say...

But.....it looks so good. :(

Sclass88 12-14-2012 10:58 PM

I like the shot in Brooklyn Heights. That's my neighborhood, one street over.

Sad to see the TSX go, best of luck with your next car.

24no7 12-15-2012 01:41 AM

what do people on this country usually do to their cars when the time has come? I'm an international student and just like your tsx, my tl is not very far from 200k. So far no problems whatsoever :)

Like a member on here has said, your car does look good indeed

CCColtsicehockey 12-17-2012 10:43 AM

Damn man I don't want to see her go just like I am sure you don't. She still looks beautiful. :thumbsup:

FastGuy 12-17-2012 11:59 AM

I'd say just get another swap .. But that's just me.. I rather have a car with 200+ and a low mileage swap then buy another car I have no clue what it's been though.. :-) ( that's if u want to keep the tsx)

CLtotheTL32 12-17-2012 06:53 PM

Absolutely gorgeous TSX, I've always loved it. Sorry to hear about the retirement.

Several questions:

1) Are you the original owner of the car?

2) Have you changed the transmission oil in the past? If so, how many times and at what mileage?



One last thing. Before you give up on the car, please try using this product

http://www.lucasoil.com/products/dis...smission%20Fix

It is only about $12 dollars at an auto parts store. I have had great success with it on another older car. I thought i had to get new tranny. But putting in this product has made it work again! shifts great. Please try it.

Damn that's weak. Still fresh too. Is it auto or manual?

Looks like it's an automatic, (first photo in his post shows the MID & gauges with the gear indicators.)

Good luck with your decision...hope you find a way to keep it a while longer.

CarbonGray Earl 12-22-2012 01:20 AM

Damn, good luck buddy. I remember you from a while back, when this forum was hoppin. My 05 is still going strong, but I work from home. I hear you about the transmission problem though....

Best of luck with the new car.

lcrazyaznl 01-15-2013 01:22 PM

going to acura to figure out this transmission problem, might be a shift solenoid or sensor hopefully not worse =(

Noooooo..... OG down... OG down... I had an episode 2 weeks ago where I couldn't get mine to shift gears. I figured out that when I got out of my car I spilled my mocha near the shifter and it made the switch underneath it stick and not work. At first it wouldn't go into gear, then it went in to gear and worked for a minute, then switched gears on me. Finally got it home and threw the code reader on it to figure out what happened. My trouble shooting brought me to my mocha spill messing up the switch under the center console. You might have a similar issue.

Sad to see her go man, i know i was a bit emotional about letting go of mine at 125k miles.

But life goes on! :)

mikebikelife 01-28-2013 04:38 PM

So clean ... I'm gonna use one of your photos as my wallpaper if you dont mind ...
