Dealership goodwill..too good to be true !?
I went into Woodbine acura and told them my trans had a very rough 2nd gear engagement (also misses shifting in and out of third in SS sometimes). I am now out of warrenty (sept.00).
The parts guy (who owns a CL) got the service manager to hook me up with a goodwill replacement. He also said my CPU would be changed, and when i objected he said "well I can save your CPU and put it back in after the trans change"
This sounds a lil too good to be true
I have 86,000miles on origional trans...
should I do the replacement?

And if i use SS mode does it matter what CPU i have because i can control all the shifts can't I?? wouldnt the corolla-esque shifting only happen during D5
But i bet you can't redline first with the new CPU!!
Thanks

just curious..
Also this dealership has a RonJon section with his rims and a NBP TL with rons Ledgend wheels, and with the skirts it looks TOP shelf.
..they marked up your 18" servos $78 a wheel.. think i'll order mine direct ..
CHA CHING!$
I thought maybe since my car fell in the 2000 early releases that maybe my tranny was built by superman..
a transmission would cost me $2700(from dealer), i always thought it cost $4000-4500

..asides from the trans and chip will everything else remain the same, or will my car shift differently, and if so, can that be bypassed by the SS mode ?
