It's been a good 13 yrs!

So long Acuraziners! After 13 years, my tranny is finally giving out on me. I bought this car in Aug 2000, and a couple weeks ago, (after 124,000 miles) SSlooow wait for the car to shift to from (R) into (D). I thought maybe it was due to the frigid Chicago weather, but it got worse as the temperatures got warmer. I decided to stay in the Honda family though! Got myself a 2014 Accord Coupe EX-L. I already miss the beautiful sound of the Acura 3.2L engine. I am keeping the car in storage until I figure out what I want to do with her.

some pictures of the new ride:

congrats on the new accord.

you do know that the 3.2 in the CL is the same as the 3.5 in the Accord?
it's the same engine design, plus a few tweaks and changes.
but in general, they should sound similar.

i bet start up sounds similar

Do a mid muffler delete maybe , and the new accord has an eco mode or whatever I'm sure takes away from some sound .

Too bad you never experienced a 6 speed!

But goodluck with the new car at least you stayed in the same family :=)
