Does any body know the current status on this problem? Has it been corrected, are they still on the works on finding a solution? Are we SOL?


Anybody?

The recall installs an oil jet that will supply additional fluid to the 2nd gear. This prevents teh 2nd gear teeth from breaking which was one of two problems with the transmisssion.

The 2nd problem is excessive clutch pack wear. This problem has not been fixed 100% There are still clutch pack failures. Some ECU changes have been made to change shift patterns to reduce the amount of wear on the clutch packs but the same transmission is still used in many Acuras today.

 

Yeah, i have read this already in the numerous posts. But as of right now? is there a true fix because the way i see it thats just buying time???


Thanks
Jon

 

The only true fix is a complete redesign or replacing the clutch packs with expensive carbon/kevlar units (which Acura won't be doing).

They have extended the warranty to 100k miles. Not much more they can do.

 

yeah thats why I plan to dump my car before 100K or @ 100K plus...buying a new transmission is not cheap at all...

I know this is off topic but i just hit 2,000 posts...WOOHOO!!

 

This i very sad, the reason i bought this honda product is because they have this fame for durability and dependability. What an Irony! i just purchased my Acura Certified CLS about 2 days ago. I know they are not going to take it back! Damn!!! There's no cool-off period law in TX

Only 2% of transmissions have failures. Relax

 

Ok Mr Steve..!!!


How many affected vehicles have been sold? do you know.

Thats worst than the 1.06% Crankwalk failure in the second Turbo Eclipse's which is made by Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi means "Unreliable" in spanish...!!!

Damn... this sucks cuz now i will be driving without the confidence that my car is able to deliver performance without sacrificing reliability.

 

37,000

 

Hey man... hows your car holding...!??????????

 

I had my transmission replaced when I was bone stock. Now my motor makes nearly 400 horsepower and I haven't had any symptoms of this transmission failing.
