driving down i75 doing 80 rpm needle started to climb 3000 4000 5000.im like fuck,pulled over n looked on the hood smoke just goshing out.trans fluids all over the place,all on the rim n wheel well.im hoping its just a seal or hose.anyone had this particular experience?
if you are from miami/ft lauderdale area,where can i get it fix for a good price? i was already quoted $1500.

Well it does not look like transmission to me. Does your car have aftermarket atf cooler installed? On the back of the tranny there is a piece of rubber hose, connected to steel pipe that goes to atf filter. That hose might be cracked or if you have aftermarket cooler - lines might have rubbed through. It doesnt look serious to me and mechanic just wants to pop you for $

ok how do you know it's the trans for sure? Did someone break it down & quote you that price?
You should really look in the FAQ. In the trans section there's tons of threads on the trans recall. Do your research.

no im just assuming.cause i tried to drive it and it cuts off while im driving.but im taking it to the dealer so they can look at it.

There are a couple hoses up front towards the bottom of the tranny. Those could have come loose. Double check those. Add some fluid and check the level via the dipstick(yellow handle) Do this while the car is off. This honestly doesnt sound like the tranny recall problem.

celynka

The only hose that might have go borken is located on the top back of transmission, just follow the steel line from the filter ( filter is located right under intake rubber tube - screwd into round atf cooler ) and you will eventually get into about 8-10 inch rubber hose - this one might get loose or cracked. It also migt be atf filter O-ring. What I would do is refill tranny with atf (make sure its honda Z1 unless you plan to flush tranny), put it into drive and have somebody look for the leak. You should find it swiftly. Good luck and let usk know what did you find out!

i just came back from the dealer.there is a recall on the tranny for 2 reasons: 1, there is a glich in the second gear it doesnt get enough oil and 2 if the gears r discolored they suppose to replace the tranny.they fixed oil situation.but when i was driving home it was jerking a little bit and the check engine light is still on.ill wait a few days to see if the jerking stops and the light goes off.but tomorrow ill check the hoses out.
now they are sayin my car has a salvage title because it was a theft recovery car i bought from an insurance place and because of that they cancelled the warranty on it.has anyone ever heard of that? how can i go about getting it reinstated? should i call headquarters or what.
thanks guys appreciate the help

That is correct, if the car has a salvage title all Acura warranties are cancelled. No way to get it reinstated that I know of.

That is correct. Your screwed. Sorry man.

half-baked

thats some bull man.they just tryin to find away to get out of providing the warranty,cause they know their cars have problems.

half-baked

i checked thoses n they are fine i guess they replaced them.they did some kind of contrapion on the area where the fluid gets added

Afraid not, it's ANY car from ANY car maker. It's federal law man. Take it up with them.

half-baked

i would but thats too much hassel to go thru.besides the warranty time would soon be up in a few mons.

YeuEmMaiMai

no it's not bull, it's reality...not acura's fault you bought a salvage titled car expecting a warranty.........

half-baked

the car wasnt in a accident if thats what you are thinking.it was a theft recovery.
they should still be responsible for taking care of the tranny situation regardless of what happen to the car

celynka

Sorry but no metter what your arguments are, salvage cars are not covered in recalls and warranties, I know it souns strange but thats th reality!
But still what did they fix regarding oil leak? and what are exact symptoms on your tranny?

YeuEmMaiMai

you are missing the point,

salvage title no matter the reason = all bets off
