Welcome and glad you got a 6-speed!

Did you research before buying? If not, you got lucky getting the 6-speed. Auto trannys just fall apart on us!

Wish I looked into it, I just drove mine and bought it. Lot's of regrets buying an auto. To think, I always drive manuals and just happened to buy an auto CL... WTF!!!

Not all of them. There are a lot of members that are on their first tranny.

By the way, I cannot take full credit for the quote, and it is in no way meant to be indicative of the money you spend in maintainance, rather the money you will end up spending in performance mods.

I was on a good streak for a while there and thought I got out lucky.

I just read that the '01 & '02 MDX trannys were the same and were NOT given the extended warranty like the CL & TL.

Don't worry asbout taking credit, it just made me laugh...

Yeh. That was the reason I opted not to get one when I was car shopping.

Yeah, I was doing 80 in a 45 earlier with a Dodge Ram...

After driving by a state trooper, the Dodge Ram flashed his blue lights...It turned out to be an un-marked cop... Pretty cool!

Come again?

Most of our cars are modded. Chances are when we got pulled over, we deserve it. And if there was a modded CL driving at the same speed as a Stratus, guess what gets pulled over.

If it's a cop with any taste he'll pull over the Stratus and give the driver a ticket for poor judgement for buying a Stratus, but most like we'll get pulled over while we're 8-10 car lenghts in front of the riced out Stratus.
