New RL Transmission Question

I'm considering a new 2007 TL and from what I've been told the new 2007 TL has the RL transmission in them.

Has anyone experienced transmission problems with their RL?

To my knowledge there has not been any problems with the RL transmission. You must realize the the 2nd gen RL is new, and members do not have many miles at this point. We lease so its not a concern for me. I would not worry about though, just get one and enjoy! Its a great car.

My 05 RL has about 18K on it. Transmission shifting and operating just fine.

I've read here of complaints about the differentials in 2005 RLs, but no issues with the tranny itself. The RL, as others here point out, is a tester model for various tech Honda plans to apply across its line. The beefed up tranny (which it would have to be to handle SH-AWD) is apparently one of those technologies.

Buy your RL and enjoy!
