I recently bought a 2001 CL-S on ebay. The car currently has 68,500 miles on it and I've only had it for 2000 miles. The past few days I have felt the transmission slipping from 2nd to 3rd gear. Atleast I think its the transmission. If im at a stop and take off gently sometimes the rpms go up to 4000 and you can tell the car is trying to shift but cant so I left off the gas and it shifts. This does not happen all the time though. My question is where should I get my transmission repaired.

The car is originally from Ed Napleton Acura in Elmhurst, IL. But that is a bit of a drive. The two closest Acura dealerships to me are East Acura (right outside Grand Rapids) and Ann Arbor Acura.

Have any of you had any experiances at these dealerships? Also was there any charge when they fixed your transmission?

 

there will not be a charge anywhere, they know this is a problem

 

Your transimission- assuming your car is stock- is covered up to 100K miles by acura..

thats great news...


Anyone have a Dealership Recommendation though? The two closest places are East Acura or Acura of Ann Arbor.

Any comments would be apprecitated

thx

 

go to the one that gives the best loaner

 

NO, find out which one does better transmission replacement work ! Forget the freaking loaners dahhhhh. Most shops work sucks, finding a good shop with good Acura mechanic that replace these transmission well is hard to find......

 

if you don't mind the miles paa

 

This will be the new phenomenom. Newbs buying the car not having a clue about the tranny problem.

 

I wonder if it's my car, that's where I bought my CL..but I traded it in to Libertyville Nissan..I do know they sold it to an Acura dealership........

 

I'm dying to know what he paid for it !

 

If you must know, $13,575

Acura CL-S w/ Navi

I think im going to take it to Acura of Ann Arbor.

Anyone ever get any work done there?

 

Is the tranny warranty on a 99 3.0CL good to 100,000 miles also?
