So my transmission started to die on my a couple weeks ago at 37,000 miles. No big deal, somewhat expected obviously.

When I got my car back it drove really well, no problems at all. However, after only about 20 miles my check engine light came on. I brought it back into Acura and apparently it needs another new transmission! I didn't know this kind of thing still Happened after they fixed the design flaw.

Has anyone else gotten a new transmission that was supposedly a redesigned one and had it fail on them?

 

Some guy lasted 7 miles on his "new" tranny :o

 

yeah we get that once in a while...we had this lady like 2 years ago that went thry three trannies before she could pick it up...

 

That's just crazy. Oh well, maybe it'll happen another time and I can Lemon Law myself into a new TL.

 

Damn i thought they would have had this fixed by now.

 

I dont understand how a company who can build such solid, powerful VTEC engines could design quite possibly the crappiest tranny known to the automotive world

 

And it's the only part actually made in Japan.

 

i hope my stays intact. ive felt a few problems but now im worried

 

If having prorblems, take her in.

 

Interesting follow up on this. Acura called the next day and said that they didn't have to replace the transmission after all, they just replaced the selenoid valve and the "linear c and shaft a" whatever that is. It fixed the problem. Go figure.
