home wrecker, welcome to the club.

bnavarro

I've had the car for about 2 and a 1/2 years and about 16000 miles. sorry to complain. i'm just really pissed off.

bkknight369

wow only 16k miles?

shit i hope they dont give you grief over your mods

i feel for your pain...buut now you're [hopefully] going to get an '03 tranny, and I havent heard anything bad about them

tw1112

Sorry to hear that happen man.

Wow 2.5 years and only 16k on it?

mr. big

just outta curiosity, did u guys ever associate ur dead trannys with all the engine mods? such as CAI, headers, and so forth? Ever think those things are somehow interrelated? i mean, i kno, those suppossedly dont have anything to do with transmission, but u never know....maybe it cant handle the extra power? or pple with those kinda mods tend to drive more recklessly and beat on their cars more? It just seems to me that all the tranny problems ive been reading, those people got headers/CAI/and other misc...

Anyone else have opinions about this?

ktgumbo

Actually when my tranny failed, my car was BONE STOCK!

oonowindoo

i feel u man... my 1st tranny failed at 17k miles and i was on the way home from installing my koni yellows.. i was all happying and enjoy those koni and all of a sudden..my tranny just slipped into second and the car behind me almost hit my ass....

mattg

were there any warning signs? had the tranny slipped or acted up?

power3dfx

there are always warnings, but they are very short. when you notice it slip, 2 or 3 times in 10 minutes period, you only have a few miles to go before its all gone. also, i was completely stock when it happened to me too.

Scooter

u shoulda called me foo...i woulda picked u up and sh!t

BTW, where were u when this happened

more importantly, who were u racing trying to impress yer date??

Starter

Perhaps your dealer will give you a "loaner" for both. :P

Pappy

Well I'm no mechanic, but I don't feel that mods have anything to do with the bad trannys. Actually, they don't generate enough torque to make a difference with an acception of possibly a turbo or supercharger.

Six Shifter

I've had the very same thought too, but I possed this question to the mechanic (not the service advisor) who works on my car and he told me that they've replaced trannies on cars that have had no mods done on them.

Scooter

it's a total hit or miss...trannies die with under 100 miles on it , and trannies die after 50K miles

mods have nothing to do with it

it's a nobrainer...the outside contractor for the tranny had a falty design...clutch pack sucked

Mine went at 2 months, 1,500 miles...Is that a record??

chikai

I was bs-ing w/ another customer at the dealer the other day. He had a bone stock TL-P. Turns out he was a resident doctor at a near by hospital. He told me he's been in three times to get his tranny replaced. So I really don't think it matters what type of driving you, mods you have, etc. Like Scoot said...it's the manf's bad.

Bulldog01

Mine's still stock (although, not for long), and my 2nd tranny's about done.

bnavarro

I don't need to impress her. The first time i picked her up was in my honda civic I was out east a jillians on 110. I just wanted to get my car home and safe.

I don't think it about the mods i did. i mean, they have lexus IS300 with turbos and auto trannys and no problems. I knowticed that 3rd was slipping and about 10 mins later, boom. d5 started flashing and check engine light came on. I just felt like an asshole infront of this chic. Could i sue on the count of embaressment???? LOL

:P :P

Samer007

yha, welcome to the club, i'm on my 3rd tranny

Nicky Pass

If mine goes once....I MAY keep the car...if it goes twice.....IT'S GONE!!!!

cls-blue

i have had my car since december 1 2002. i have had three transmissions replaced on it. I just hit 37k and it seems to be going out again. i litterally have the fourth transmission in the car since its life from the poor quality controled plant for Acura. i bought the car brand new.

that is messed up! i am on number one with 30K and it still feels ok. But i am always frickin paranoid now. :bigcry:

mr. big

damn..but ..i was wondering, maybe someone else knows too, but...y dint they just give u the 2003 tranny? Those ones are fixed (as i was told)....Something with the shavings or some plate was comming out? i dunno, but the dealer told me they fixed it for 2003 models...so, im assuming, they should have given u one of those...or am i wrong about this??

CO-CL-S

A lot of tranny's were replaced (some more than once) before they determined what the cause was.

mattg

*ahem*

darrinb

mods have nothing to do w/ your tranny going, some kid i go to school w/ has a tl-p and so does his dad, between the both of them they gave gone through 3 trannies in the past 4 months, they are both bone stock and drive like PUSSIES

F23A4

Damn!!!!! You've gotta be kidding me!!

bnavarro

ok, boys. I'm selling all my mods. Any questions, pm me.

Six Shifter

looks like another CL-S'er lost

bnavarro

well, see. maybe i'm just jumping the gun.

jit

Mine went out at 17k
And the horror stories about gear slipping from 5th to 2nd while crusing 75mph on highway scare me
I am approaching 34k now... was actually thinking about trading it in, maybe an old C70 or something. dunno.
