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.

The hassle going inti the dealer and not having your car and the unease of thinking you your tranny sucks
