Thank god right lol just made it that 109k was coming up fast lol I had a app. today with already intentions of a failed trans. on my way to the dealer d5 light is blinkin and cel on. went into the deal 30 min. later I was told that they are ordering me a new trans all covered by acura... thank the lord lol i get the car back on thursday =) Big thank you to the people over at Continental Acura of Naperville everytime I go there Im always taken care of.

 

very nice, man you got lucky huh

 

Do they give you some kind of waranty for the new transmi . 12months-20k
I brought mine in and they told me only the balance of the extended warranty i.e.
Fev-2009

 

is it me or are there more tranny failure threads coming up lately

 

lol i know i got real lucky, and cjitty i agree lol there were two 2nd gens already in there for tranny replacments, and he told me nothing about a warranty... ill ask him when i pick the car up

 

it was 12/10 may be 12/12 now if you get it free- the unit warranty is seperate from the total mileage limit
If you have a partial pay- goodwill- out of warranty limits fix and pay 500, you can buy a 3/36 for 300
All that keeps changing so you really need to ask the PARTS manager, they order the parts and know warranty

 

omg please don't say that lol...

Maybe I should get in good with a local Acura dealer :P

 

your quite luckly. if they didnt tell you that u had to pay anything or if u didnt sign paper work and they tell u that you owe them so and so much, you dont have to pay for it. since you didnt sign anything.

 

Same here...dealer didn't mention any warranty on my replaced transmission. I'm even looking at the invoice...doesn't mention one either. Got mines replaced @ 112k miles...currently about 119k (5 months later).

 

lol all i signed was the "inspection" paper they filled out showing its a 99.00 fee and this was before he even looked at my car, but after they looked at it and told me they are gunna replace the trans and the 99 fee is waved from acura and after that he sad i was free to go no total or anything

 

ok, just dont sign anything saying that u agree to the price and work done on your car, i have a good friend that works their.

 

lol i got you, believe me if they come at with me a price its not happenin. is your buddy a mechanic?

 

Also don't be surprised if you get a call from them telling you your front mount is shot. So new transmission + front mount cost me a total of $230, if you exclude the gas I bought for the rental.

 

yea, master tech their, does the A/T swaps under 2 hours, and they pay for 6, he loves that stuff

 

lol i hope he does my shit then that would be nice... imma PM you real quick gotta question lol

 

why all the secrets abptltypes02? LOL i'm just playin man. Tom knows his stuff when it comes to TL's. He's a pro when it comes to mods.

 

I guess the older the 2nd gen get, the more failures it will show. Some of the 2nd gen are amazing low miles.

 

Glad to hear you are covered. I wasn't but they good willed it anyway (1/20/09). I paid $500 and received a 3/36 warranty. I think you will get the 1/12. If I were you I would ask about paying the $500. It's a small price to pay considering the cost of a new unit out of warranty. At least you know the car will be good for another 3 years. Also they will probably want you to pay the parts for the front and side motor mounts. Mine were recently replaced so I lucked out with that.

 

you only need to replace the motor mounts if they are broken

The front likely is, the right side depends on how long the front was broken and you kept racing around~
Dealer tech knows this and inspects them when the car is on the lift

The labor savings is on the front mount only- with trans removed its a 20 minute job.
Side mount is same amount of time regardless

 

lol just did mounts so im good on that and i dont really think im going to buy the warranty just because who knows ill have a fresh trans so sell to someone who wasnt as fortunate as i was and maybe that will get my 6sp swap goin??? i hope lol moneys tight now a days

 

if you pay a percentage of the repair- they will sell you for 300$ a 3/36
When you go to sell the car thats a big feature and worth 1000 in value

 

I like the black in your wheels

 

lol small world man... thanks

 

so everytime you get a tranny from them you have the option for the 3/36? Any idea if theyre an extended warrenty option like when the 3/36 is up, can you extend it?

trying to gather as much info as I can cause im gonna be taking it in soon..tranny isnt so smooth anymore and only had the car 6 months bwaaaaha 99,800 mls

 

if you are out of `limits` and they give you `partial goodwill coverage`, meaning you PAY some portion- lets say $500 towards the trans, then you can buy the 3/36

If its in limits and you pay nothing, the trans unit is coming with a 12/10.. last I knew for certain.

Check your VIN to see if that 03 is covered vin range or past end vin- that will affect everthing right now, You have 50 or 109 coverage depending on that
http://owners.acura.com/registration...erstepone.aspx
need your VIn and then look in recall section -see what it says next to trans warranty length 50 or 100

 

getting a fresh trans at that mileage for free or low cost, shortly after buying a TL is a major bonus- its like getting half a new car!!, and will improve the running of the car

Seafoam and spark plugs- that thing will be like new

be aware of the coming of the 105 service~ very important

 

so everytime you get a tranny from them ?

hopefully you only need 1 trans from them!
Some of us are on number 2-3 4

 

If its in limits and you pay nothing, the trans unit is coming with a 12/10.. last I knew for certain

This is not so true in Canada . I got 0 warranty on the replaced transmi .

 

acura called... good new is shes done =) but im stuck at work til nine then school til noon tomorrow lol kinda bad news, they said both front lower ball joints are "loose" going to need replacing =/ oh well cant complain with a new tranny =)

 

ball joints and front motor mounts- the bane of the TL existance

acurabum- I speak in terms of usa cars and warranty- sorry if that confuses the canuks in the group

 

I called when i first got the car and they said i was "out of warranty". hmmm
