Thumbs down 2 Tls and 4 transmissions later

Well i dunno who remembers i was cursed with a 2000 TL lemon that had a bad tranny then later on anything and everything went on it including the motor @65k so i made the dealer buy it back at current retail instead of trade in value, and silly me bought a 2002 Type S with 45k. well it went in today for the recall i've only had it a month and they just called to let me know it too needs a new tranny, hooray for acura

40 mins away? where are you in conn? well, this is a known issue, so you already be prepared to deal with it.... atleast the car is hot. if it wasn't bad ass, i would have dumped it b/c of the tranny issue.

btw, expect more inconviences. i dont think anyone here has the perfect tranny.. good luck to ya bro.
