Well here is the story. I took in my car a couple of weeks ago. The tranny was shifting hard 2nd to 3rd gear. The guy in the service dept. said I needed a new tranny and he would order one.
About 2 weeks later the tranny comes. I took it in today to get the new one put in. They called me about 4 hours later and said it was done. I picked the car up from the dealership and pulled out of the parking lot and the damn thing would not shift. I made a U turn walked back in and told the service guy what happened. The service guy said he would have them look at it right then. So I waited for a liittle while. Then this mechanic came in from the garage and said that the tranny was fried and they would order a new one. I exploded! They said it would take at least 2 more weeks to get my car back. I think I used every foul word I know just then. The service guy was feeling my wrath. I feel bad about it now. But on the other hand I got 2003 CL-S 6 speed for a loaner. I like it but there is no room for passengers and its a pain it the ass putting my baby back there. Two door cars suck! I sure hope the 3rd tranny lasts longer. I also know what car I am getting next. Audi S4 340 hp awd 6 speed! Amen!!!

 

hey at least u get a cl-s 6 speed to mess around with.

 

They will be lucky if there is any tread left on the tires!!! LOL

 

I hear ya. I had the same problem with my 2nd transmission, that is it was whining immediately after I drove it off the lot. You would think a test drive by the dealership would find this problem b4, especially since yours did not shift.

 

If i got a 6M CL-S to loan, the dealer would see his clutch and tire bill for that car skyrocket

 

Werd... better to have electrical problems (and possibly turbo issues) then tranny failures

 

Sorry to hear about your tranny. I can't believe they didn't road test the car after a transmission replacement.

BTW, that's one awesome loaner you got.

 

:flamer: Acura

 

I got my car back today. Things seem to be normal. I hope. I will miss the 6 speed CL-S. I enjoyed have a standard shift. I wish there was a 6 speed TL-S. I need a 4 door car though. I sure hope the 3rd tranny last the rest of the time I have this car. I am getting tired of taking it to the shop to get fixed. The dealership that I take my car has bent over backwards for me. This last time they cleaned my K&N air filter, gave me new wipper blades, and a free oil change. When my wife trades her CRV in for a MDX. I will buy it from them for sure.

 

There wont be a next time! Next TIME THIS HAPPENS.. go in there and tell them you qualify for the lemon law and hire a lawyer or seomthing..

 

Im over the milage for the lemon law. Pennsylvania has a 10000 mile limit and I have 12000 on my car .I will just have to keep getting it replaced.
