Gdmf Trannies!!! >:o
Well, I'm on tranny #2 as most of you know.
Ever since I picked the car up from its new tranny insertion, it had a strange smell when stopped. I called service about it, and they said it's prolly just spilled tranny fluid - if it keeps up, call / bring it back.
So I go on a trip down to Boca this week - and it's still happening.
When I get back, I check the tranny fluid level.
THE DAMNED THING IS ALMOST OFF THE DIPSTICK!!!!!!
Looking under the car, I see a small puddle of tranny fluid and a streak about 4" wide of tranny fluid extending towards the rear of the car.
Amazing. They can't even seal the tranny right.
Needless to say, now I gotta go out, get some regular tranny fluid, and limp my car back to the dealer. God only knows how long this will be. Let's hope I don't need another tranny.

Well, here's the deal. Apparently, somehow the left axle seal split, and that was the source of the leak. They're replacing the seal (overnighting it so I might get my car back tomorrow), and the fluid - hopefully no tranny damage.
Hell - I TRIED to fill it with regular ATF before I drove it to the dealer to give me a "limp" mode - but I couldn't get the damned ATF fill bolt off! Those of you that remember my diatribe from changing my ATF at 18k might recall the many hours I banged my knuckles and tired my tricepts getting the last one off. This time, I said "fock it" and just drove the car in.
Oh well - I called acura CS back (had opened a case with them when my last tranny died) and let them know that a damned oil change will NOT fix my problems if I need more than a day or so of work.
