omg wtf

i think my tranny is gone the engine was reving weird n shit, the check engine light and vsa light are on
then i was driving, the vtec wont open up, i'm thinkin it cant be the tranny, yesterday i put in 110 octane racing fuel, i dont think it was unleaded or it might have been old gas i dunno i used 5-6 gallons of 94 octane and 2.5 gallons of 110 racing fuel, then just now i filled up at amoco all the way and the car was actin normal but the check engine light was still on,

i'm such a dumb ass puttin that gas in to make my car faster, but i dunno if the tranny is gone, before when the car was actin fucked i called up acuta tlc roadside assistance and cussed them out

fawk i hope my tranny aint gonna go

pray for me please

 

oh btw, my car has never even slipped before, i dunno wtf

i'm pretty sure its the fucked up gas

 

if the check engine and vsa light are on, take it to the dealer, or have it towed if it won't get there.

 

well now its only the check engine light

 

i cant fuckin believe this man, i should of got the fuckin electric toyota car

 

It looks like your tranny is dying, but why would you put in 110 Octane gas in your car??? You drive a CL. Stop thinking you drive a Ferrari or a boosted car where it would actually help. 110 racing gas won't do anything for you.

Now that the Check Engine light is on, you may have done some damage to your engine or maybe it just threw up an error code to your ECU with that gas. Get some dry gas or take it to the dealer. Good luck!

 

If the tranny is slipping.. you got a dead tranny. If not, it could be somthing else. Take it to any Autozone and let them read teh CEL code for FREE!

 

when my tranny went i was pissed to, jus calm down and take it to the dealership.

 

darrinb,

The same thing happened to me last night. I was driving on the highway and the VSA light and the check engine light came on. I pulled over and turned the car off and when I restarted the VSA went off, but the check engine light stayed on and is still on.
I can feel the tranny doing something wierd when trying to put it in reverse, but other than that it seems alright. I think it is going out.
I went to Acura this morning and they told me they couldn't do anything until Monday. Hope this fucker doesn't go out on me over the weekend.
Good Luck to you

 

well none of the lights are on now??

what color is the tranny fluid suposed to be

 

*try at your own risk*

Dilute that 110 octane with some 87. Maybe that will bring down the octane some.

 

Why cuss out the Roadside Assistance people? You should cuss out yourself!! You have too much anger in you i've noticed in pretty much all of your posts, you need some Anger Management classes or something. Just breathe and go get yourself laid or something....

 

well wtf, y is my tranny fuckin up on a 30k car

i'm usually a calm and easy goin guy


but not when it comes to my car, i dont want it to be fuckin up or n e body fuckin w/ it

 

4350 posts and you are asking "y is my tranny fuckin up on a 30k car"?

Ignorance is bliss.

 

well i never thought it would happen to a 2003, i just went to the dealer 2 days ago to get a oil change, they should of checked the tranny fluid

 

or maybe instead of blaming everyone but yourself, you could try thinking about why u might have put 110 in a car that not only doesnt need it, but apparently doesnt like it

 

U are the biggest looser on this board, especially for posting this sentence. U also wrote earlier 2day that u think that your CL can outrun the Cops. Are seriously a dumbfuck?

 

Easy guys, he's just pissed about his car not acting right, If my car fawked up I would blow a gasket also!! AND I too am an easy going guy, until it comes to my car.

 

u dont like wtf i'm sayin then dont open my threads up, u obviously want to read my posts cause they entertain u

i dont wanna deal w/ your shit, not now maybe later, i want to get my car back to normal

 

thanks

 

Higher octane won't hurt anything as long as it was unleaded gas. The higher the octane number actually means the gas is less likely to pre-ignite. Higher octane is actually LESS explosive and doesn't do anything unless you are running lots of boost or very high compression. Then all it does is allow the engine to run without knocking. Doubt if it gets you much on a CL. A chipped turbo car is another story.

 

i'd have to agree....the 110 gas would actually be more pure than the 93....chill out, take it to the dealer, get your POS loaner and have them check it out...from the looks of your mods, it should be covered under warranty....

 

zootking

i aint old enough to get a loaner?

what if the gas wasnt unleaded, would that cause a big problem???

 

If the gas wasnt unleaded it would fuck up the catalytic converters at the least, and most likely mess up the 02 sensors. There's a reason it says "premium unleaded gas only" on the gas tank lid. And I'm 21 and got a loaner. How old are you? Maybe have one of your parents sign for it, but DO NOT get into an accident with it. Under no circumstances tell them that you put racing gas in it. And tranny fluid should be pinkish red, but why can't you check it yourself?

 

i did, my tranny fluid is black
i'm 18, i have to time to take my parents to the dealer..

 

how many miles on the tranny fluid? black is not a good thing. Not trying to insult you, but you did check the tranny fluid and not the engine oil right? I've seen stranger things.

 

yea i checked the tranny fluid, my mobile 1 oil is like a very light brown

15,000 miles on the tranny fluid

 

why did you cuss out tlc? what did they do to you?

 

HONDA FIX YOUR FUCKING TRANNYS IN OUR CARS!!!!! JESUS I DID NOT BUY AN ACURA FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.

 

the guy is actin smart w. me, actin all suprised n shit when i told him my tanny went like he hasnt got 20,000 calls before sayin my tranny just went, i asked him if he can contact the dealer cause they were closed, i wanted to order a new tranny NOW instead of waiting till monday

 

...they werent going to order you a new tranny based simply on your word...

tlc is there to give you assistance when you get in trouble...tlc didnt build your tranny, or tell you to put racing gas in your car...

 

Your story has changed three times in this thread.

Was your tranny slipping? That's the main question. Was the tach running through the roof and the car wasn't moving? How were the shifts? Hard? Delayed?

The gas didn't do shit to your car.

If I were you, I certainly wouldn't be surprised if my tranny went considering the way you brag on this board about racing and driving like a mad-man. None of the CL/TL trannys are immune to destruction.

It's unfortunate, but something you're going to have to deal with. Welcome to the real world.

Oh and... Do you have nothing better to do with your money than spend it on $3+ gas??? Just curious...

 

 

i highly doubt the gas u bought was leaded so i wouldnt worry about it...

just tell your parents to get a loaner in their name until ur tranny is fixed, no biggie. theres no point getting frustrated, only gets more worked up. so what u get a pos loaner... deal w it, you'll have a new tranny in a few weeks....

like 40% of us has been thru that...
(i wonder w the tranny failure rate is for members of this board)

 

how's he supposed to contact the dealer if tehy're closed?

 

Suddenly, that Hyandai Tiburon does not look so bad.

 

Did you want them to order you a milkshake as well?

 

I'm 20 and get loaners no problem from the dealer...if I’m old enough to make the monthly payment on my own then I should be able to reap all the benefits of owning a "Premium" brand automobile.

Now if your mom and dad are on the registration and you aren't paying for the car that might be another story...

Now not to give you a hard time...but I mean seriously, what were you thinking with 110 octane, and only 2.5 galloons? Did you squeeze a race-ready NSX motor in there or something?? I think its just a coincidence that you are having these problems at the same time you decided to give your CL a lil octane boost.

I don't mean to flame you buddy, but I guess when you gate shift your stock CL-S to a 14.2 quarter mile...you are gonna break something in the tranny...

Take it a little easier on your automatic...and stop trying to chase down guys in C5's that reach for the wrong gear.

 

You keep going back and forth. Is the car driveable right now? You said no light are on right? Did you feel it slipin at all recently? You've got to calm down and type whats going on clearer.

 

sorry chap, i havent been normal these past 2 days man my car was drivin me crazy, i unpludded the battery 5 min ago and i'll put it back in tommorw, the car seems to be driving normal, but the engine is getting really hot, i'll have the dealer take a look at it tommorw
