Would you keep getting your transmissions fixed if you had over 100,000 miles on the car?

russianDude

Depends on your financial situation, if you can't aford another car then I would fix it, it I can afford something else I'd get a new car.
After warranty transmission repair will cost you around $4000, even more

Even after the 100,000 mile transmission warranty has expired, I'm sure Acura will be doing a lot of goodwill replacements.

This is something you can not count on... In fact I doubt it, 100K is a long interval....

I just paid $2,800 for a rebuilt transmission on my 2001 CL Type S with 112,000 miles. Acura supposedly paid half of the parts. So, you're looking at $5,000 if you're on your own. And there's only 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on the rebuilt unit. See my thread 100,000+ Miles.

I will not own my car past 100,000.

Unless I get a replacement at 95k. Then I may keep the car until 120k.

My dealership has done multiple replacements at 120,000+ miles. Free of charge.

I was one who had planned on getting 150k miles + out of my car. But at 89,000 and a couple of transmissions, I decided not to chance it with the car gods. Once over 100k, it's just a matter of time before you're gonna be out $3-5k for a tranny.

And if you wait til it goes out, then try to sell it "as is" ... well that dog ain't gonna hunt.

I say anyone even remotely thinking about selling their CL because of tranny worries should do it sooner than later. I loved the car but the deals on new cars right now are really sweet.

what he said and by by CL-S! My

I loved my CL-S, but it had to go, there was no way I was going to pay $2,800 for a rebuilt tranny.. And that would have been installing it myself.... The word is out on CL's nd TL's they are a very hard sell especially with the information available to consumers today via the internet..
My CL-S had 63,000 on the clock and never gave me a day of trouble, not one slip, not one hard start, and I ran it hard from the get go; but I was not willing to chance it. I advertised it at $16K and after 8 weeks I left it go for $12,500.
I left it go and got myself a '05 Crew cab and I am now looking for a 6 speed legend.

Just the 2 cents of a conservative..

Got rid of mine with second tranny that had 30K on it. I figure it was due to die right after the warranty. That plus brakes and 105K tune up coming up in the next year. I figure about 7K in repairs if I took the car to 100K. So I dumped it at 83,000

Bluto

12.5k private sale? I guess the $13k trade-in I got on my CLS with 63k was a good deal.

What I did before 100k.

INDIOKATS

my tranny went out at 115k. My dealer said to call acura, im just waiting on their answer. Can you tell me the name of your dealer so i can tell acura. Id really appreciate it.
thanks

Got rid of mine at 72k. Was not going to find out how much it would be to fix after the 100k barrier...
