I can't figure out it this is an engine issue or trans issue. I have a 03 CL-P with 103k. I just performed the 105k service outlined in the manual. I didn't notice any improvement in drivability. When I take off from a stop the shift between first and second gear is pretty rough. Almost like the injectors are clogging . It happens about 90% of the time and isn't that bad but annoying. If I take it to a dealer are they gonna charge just to look at it or is this covered in the warranty?

 

103k yer outta luck with the dealer.

The Shift is rough like Revvvvvvvvvvvvv....Kathunk! Or You're accelerating and the car is lurching, sputtering?

 

what spark plugs did u use? try seafoam in the intake, oil, and gas tank, if u just changed your oil, then skip the oil treatment process for now.

 

if the "shift between first and second gear is pretty rough" ...umm, well i hope you have about $3500 saved up for the new tranny.

I really hope this isn't the case for you man, but this is how it all started for me... :-(

BTW, in your 105k service, did you change trans fluid or anything like that? i just ask b/c i had mine changed thinking i was doing good, then about 2 weeks later, my trans died on me...

 

Well the 105K mile service is the timing belt too....

Did you do this also? If so, could be a problem with the timing belt install and being off a notch or two from TDC causing the issues.

Let us know what you did for the 105k mile service and that can help.

 

i believe u are right on the money, i wwas going to suggest the same.
So let see what he comes back with ..................
Hopefuly its just a misalignment Not a new tranny problem.
