was at 149,893 miles on my speedometer...driving on a busy road, when the tranny went on me again. i was so mad. for the past couple of days i was noticing the shift from 2nd to 3rd getting a little jumpy, but today it took the final crap. i had to baby it 10 miles to the nearest acura dealership (could only stay in 2nd gear). my first one was replaced at around 65k miles and i thought i lucked out with only having to do one replacement...dang it! all the usual lights came on, and what-not. soooooo....we'll see if the dealership will cover at least SOME of the costs. ill keep ya posted. wish me luck

 

ouch, with 150K on the odo doesn't look too bright... GL with this.

 

thanks... =/

 

That's some shitty news.

Good luck man!

 

They might do a goodwill. If not, you'll still have to pay a chunk of the cost.

 

this is why i just bought a refurbed tranny out a wrecked cl for $750 with 22k on it out the black market. my original tranny has 156k on it now. i wish you luck with this keep us posted.

 

Damn bro sorry.......

 

Sorry to hear that!

 

update: after going to the 2 acura dealerships here in town, as well as calling corporate and pleading my case, acura has declined to offer any help in replacing my tranny. estimated costs were around $4k. I didn't bother getting an exact quote from them because I already got a $1500 quote from another transmission specialty shop for a brand new tranny. the warranty for that transmission would be 12 mo/12k miles. i guess its not that bad - seeing how the CL is no longer my daily driver and my new toyota tundra is. once its fixed, the CL will just be a weekend car.

 

thats a good price, congrats on a good outcome.

 

Pah..thats horrible news dude. At least you have a backup car though! If my tranny dies on me again I'm just gonna say f-k it and get a new car.

 

+1 on that^

 

my replacement trans has been lumpy and when it does go, it will be on them since the problems are documented under the warranty period.

 

eeeeshhh


sucks bro, but hey atleast you have a backup right, nothing like youre tranny going....and youre going on the bus

 

maybe its time 4 a 6 speed.

 

^ haha yea

 

 

i dont know anything about ur problems guys im 6spd but its really bad news

 

ha. the funny thing, 6 yrs after the CL was stopped being produced, its still, in my opinion, the best option for a luxury sports coupe in its class out there today. if i was looking for that type of car, i'd consider it, but i got my Tundra now...

 

i think he meant six speed swap
