3yr 36k warranty on transmissions
Hey guys i went to Stevens Creek Acura, and the Advisor told me that they are averaging about 100 tranny's a month that are being done. That # blew me away.
Another note that some of u might have known, but I did not, was that each transmission has a 3 year 36k warranty. Therefore as he told me, if your tranny dies at 99,900, you will be covered for roughly 135,900 miles. Thats not bad.

Quick, someone go dig up all of the people who posted and said the transmission failure wasn't an issue... LOL
Of course 100 a month is 3 a day! just about... wow. That's insane if those numbers are correct.
Good news on the 36k warranty. I didn't know that

Yeah, but have they gotten a reliable fix for the tranny now? They have had plenty of time to get it right.

That is a dilemma. I really hope they've gotten a CORRECT fix by now.
I have a 2001 CL-S with 26,000 miles and just checked the tranny fluid. Gettin' a little dark, but it's supposed to anyway since there is a tranny fluid change at 30k.
Then I checked the tranny fluid my family's 2002 Toyota Sequoia which has 34k miles. Haven't done the 30k service yet, but the fluid is super bright pinkish-red. And this vehicle's done it's fair amount of towing also.
Hey, this ain't stopping me driving the CL like you're supposed to!

100 per month seems about right...I do on an average of 3 trannies per week and we have 12 tech's...I also have'nt done any less than 1 tensioner PER DAY!!!for the past two weeks..

i still havent heard about a feb.03 traany failing, so thats good to know.
and since some older trannies failed within 5k miles, i would say the newer ones are definately improved.
also, reading most of the nhtsa report confirms my speculation
