And I think I am going to sell it, I got a good deal on it but the thought of losing the tranny at any moment, ruins it for me. I just sold my 99 sts couse of resale value was dropping and it was starting to have problems I dont want to be in the same boat again, as much as I love the car, oh well maybe ill try to find a 98 or newer sc400.

 

what year is it? the tranny warranty is good till 100k so until then your good to go.
other than that is there any other reasons? i love mine and on 2nd tranny but i dont care its a rare and sweet car.

 

Its an 01 with 71,000, there is nothing wrong with it its a one owner, looks like new. The engine ticks when I start it that bugs the hell out of me. The reason I want to get rid of it is that ill get to 100,000 miles in probobly a year I drive alot, and who knows what it will be worth with those miles in a year. I guess I should have done more research before I bought it, but I didnt think I needed to.

 

drive it like you stole it--if the tranny shits the bed before 100 (mine's good till105) then you'll get a rebuilt one. This is a very well known and embarrassing moment for Honda/Acura and they've gone a long way to remedy the problem it caused.

 

I don't think you should get rid of it.

BTW that ticking noise is normal. It is a solenoid. Can't remember what it is for, but it is around the firewall somewhere. I have an 01 Type S too and took it in one day and they pulled it in the maintenance bay beside an 03 on both made the same noise. A lot of newer cars do that. I even heard it in my bosses wifes S430.

 

Ah! Purge Valve Solenoid.

keep checking out the CL 2nd gen boards and ask questions.
The guys on here are pretty helpful.

Enjoy that car and post pics!!

 

I think you should keep it too. You'll love it.

I've never noticed a ticking noise on mine. Weird.

 

Will do, this is my second cl I still have my 98 2.3, which I love and will keep forever.

 

It's not normal to hear the ticking. Mine was replaced & it doesn't tick anymore.
