my 01's been acting up..seems to hesitate between shifts, and sometimes it feels like a manual driven wrong, like shifts hard..my tranny going? i don't think it slips, but i'm not sure...and those fuckin dumb fuck people at the dealer always tell me that my fuckin car is fine..even though the rear suspension sounds pretty fucked up to me..anyone use keyes acura? how's there service? i've pretty much given up on santa monica acura...

 

Do an Trany oil drain and refill ... it helps a bunch!

 

Mine was doing the same thing the past couple months.So, since its about to hit the endo f the 3 year comprehensive warranty .. i took it in with my gripe list (very small actually - rotors AS USUAL, seat bottom not heating properly and transmission shifting hard).

They road tested it and .... ordered me a new transmission immediately!! I didn't think it was behaving all that bad .. was hoping to get a flush for free! :-)

So, I have my new tranny + ECU .. aaaahhh *now* I remember what the car felt like in the beginning! They put on new rotors .. that's my 4'th set under warranty and fixed the seat heat .. .life is good!!!

$5,500 in warranty work .. all I paid was the $75 for the brake pads - I'll take that deal.

I've seen 'em slagged plenty - but my Acura experience has been a very good one - 04 (or maybe 05) TL - oh yeah!
