Curious if any one else has a 2003 CL Type S, 6 spd. San Marino Red, Ebony interior with navi. They say mine is 1 of 25. Just looking for my twins out there.


If I posted this in the wrong place please let me know and I will try to do better.

 

Rajca has one, but i believe without navi though

 

Can't remember if GreenMonster's has Navi or not, but it's a SMR/Ivory 6mt.

Oh yeah, and, wrong section.

 

I havent seen one with Navi on this site.

 

ebony=black interior

plenty of tan/ivory interiors around

 

Ahh, yes, I misread that.

 

i guess you missed the entire CL portion of this site?

 

I had on 01 cla auto Agean Blue Pearl and less than 100k miles and 6 trans replacements/ fixs later I sold that POS. NEVER AGAIN! it soured my whole outlook on Acura. The only Acura I would ever own again would be a 98 or 200 Type R..

 

You'll definitely get more responses from the CL section of the site. Car Talk is more for general discussion of models not covered by one of our forums... so off to the CL section we go...

BTW, welcome to AZ

 

03 smr cl-s 6spd. Black interior, no navi, no radio. 1 of 1

 

I'm 1 of 52 with my combo.

 

Ditto

 

Thanks for moving the thread for me!

I will try to do betternext time.


Oh ... Thanks for the welcome as well!

 

 

I have a 2003 Anthracite 6-speed with Navi. 1 of 137. I wouldn't have bought it without that 6th gear.

 

I had no idea how rare it was when I got it. I just liked the whole 6 spd and thought it might get better fuel economy than my Jeep sitting on 35's.

 

congrats.. but rare or not rare it's a CL not a reventon.. not gonna matter much in the end, except to CL owners

 

I am sure it won't matter now, but it is still cool to not have to see one on every corner like the TL. Not knocking the TL .... My wife has one. And at some point the rarity WILL show on the price as time passes. Maybe not now but 20 years from now.

 

20 years from now auto cls will be MUCH more rare

 

This is true. I like mine being a 6 speed. I hate that all you auto guys have so many issues with them.

 

Don't trans replacements have a 36k mile factory warranty? Kinda the same story as StonedCL. Keeping in mind the issues with the 5AT, if you're having to go through trans rebuilds THAT often, then maybe it's not Acura's fault in that respect. Maybe just a shoddy rebuild or bad work from an outside mechanic?

 

I think it is how most of us drive our CL's. I agree that it is a common problem related to too much HP in front of the transmission. The auto guys should be able to pound on their's just like we can and it hold up.

 

O.K. I missed the whole 6 trans repairs thing..... I have to agree with Rapture on this 100%.

 

The auto trans in my tl blew the third gear clutch packs apart on the dyno. I was at 293whp and 263wtk around the mid 5k rpm range. That trans did take a beating though

 

Look at it from another angle though.

If you had a transmission go out that often, even if its covered by a warranty, it becomes an inconvenience being without your car for a few days each time. And once youre out of warranty, what happens? I think he made a good choice ditching it.

 

I know what you mean. I bought a new truck once and it was always in the shop. While it was covered I was still making payments on a truck I could not ride in all the time.

But also.. If you blow six trans it is either you or a crap build.
