3rd gear grind/pop TSB now out
i'm sure many of you have heard of the problems that the TL and Si have had, but I've never heard of anyone having problems with our cars. however, ACURA has just released a TSB for ours cars as well.

Just because it's not covered by warranty doesn't make it useless.

I have to admit that it has happened to me numerous times where 3rd didn't work. I'm going to try to get this done along with some other service that I need...

A TSB is a technical tip to the mechanics, warranty has nothing to do with it.

It's not just a tech tip for a dealer tech. It's not like a memo that says "procedure change" It's a notice that some cars can have this problem & here's how to fix it.
If your car has this problem & your out of warranty why should the dealer not cover it when cars with warranty will cover it? They have documentation that it's a problem it should cover all effected cars warranty or not.
I've been burned by TSB's before so I'm biased I guess.

Warranty or not a TSB is out to inform the dealer that there is a problem and the correct way to go about resolving the issue. If some one is having the issue and is out of warranty instead of having to pay for a whole new trans now they can just pay for the fix

that is some shit.
Out of warranty: Any repair performed after warranty
expiration may be eligible for goodwill consideration by
the District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone
Office. You must request consideration, and get a
decision, before starting work.
There's some good news for you 6 speeders out of warranty.

This is a repost it was posted in car talk already.
Effects the CL, TL TSX & RSX, however 3rd gear grinding hasn't been a problem with the CLS.
