I have a 03 cl auto with over 35k, but fortunately, no transmission problems. Let me get this right... Acuras have chronic tranny problems? Which ones, manuals or autos? Does it matter? Also, has anyone heard that CL's are discontinued in '04. I thought I read that they would be revived with a supposedly new redesign in '05, but then I just read that '03 sales were so disappointing. I was looking at TL's the other day at the dealer and you know they didn't want to discourage a potential sale today for a not-so-potential sale say some time next year. Anyone heard of any tranny probs with the 04 TL's? What are some of these signs of tranny probs, anyway? I have an automatic tranny and probably drive like a grandma compared to you guys.

 

wow, registered in July 02 and now your first post

no tranny problems for 03's I think

no more CL's

 

there have been a few '03 autos that have failed. :o

 

wouldnt really know

 

sorry about the first post thing...too busy driving like a lil old lady :-)

 

no 04 tls w/ tranny probelms YET!!!!
1999-2003 TL's and 01-03 CL's have problems...auto only though
CL being discontinued is really, really, really old new...sucks doesn't it. If and when your tranns starts to take a shit...you'll know cause it will slam shift hard and miss shifts and a whole bunch of weird shit haoppens

 

Yeah, lotta weird shit happens when your tranny goes out. I have an 'O3 and have already had one tranny replacement at 26,600-

 

do mods have anything to do with these tranny probs?

 

Nope

 

Nah. Read this:

What's wrong with the CL auto tranny?

 

They don't. But, unfortunately, a few dealers out there might try telling you otherwise

 

well, no 04 cl's have reported failures, so maybe acura got their shit together?
