Baltimore may have taken the Browns away from us and we will never fogive Modell - but this is a step in the right direction. This is just waht this site needed. How about a Thread in the photo gallery for girls and their TL's 
I think that would not only be awesome but Im guessing the most looked at thread ever posted.

Pretty much just know as long as your tranny doesnt die on you the rest of the car will last forever. Hondas are known to never ever die and I dont think the TL is the expection as long as you keep the tranny in good shape. Just make sure to reguarly service your car.

I love the styling of the 7 and I have never seen another girl in one.
As far as the picture.... Sometimes I gotta use what I got. Some people will pay more attention to visuals than to requests for help. See this thread that I posted almost an hour ago:

Haha I always wanted an RX7 but the maintenance is horrible, I opted for an S4 and the maintenance is also killing me so it was a lost lost situation. It is true with the posting, if i saw your other post I would of responded, Im just new here and I live on other forums. Like someone said earlier, if you have problempeeps would race over there.
The only problem I saw with transmission problems was a 2000 with 180k miles on it. The mechanic told them to get an old tranny from a junkyard and he did the swap like that.

I am not locked in to the TL purchase so if there is a 30+% chance of me having this tranny problem, I am backing out.
Suprisingly, I spent one hour reading through the 20+ pages on tranny issues and the question was never addressed concerning the prevalence of the tranny issues. I know what Honda claims (2%) but what sense do you get being an owner and knowing other owners.
Is everyone having this problem (is it a matter of when, not if)?
I know there have been some manual swaps--price, successes?
IS THIS INEVITABLE?!?!?!
Help, please. I just paid 5400.00 for a engine for my RX-7. The TL is to be my reliable car. I cannot afford MUCH of maintenance.
I know chilvalry is not extinct. Please help me out.

Wow 3 pages.......just b/c a girl posted pics of herself (supposedly her). 
Anyways, I have 40k miles on my '03 and the original tranny was replaced @ around 30k. Haven't had a problem since then. Just do the scheduled maintenance and you should be fine. If for some reason, the tranny does die on you, just take it in to the dealer and have fun driving around in the loaner car for a few days. TL is a great car, can't go wrong! Good luck!

Don't see many RX7s here, I saw one chinese guy in South Edison with a beat up red 3rd gen but thats about it.

Hey, just a quick question, why are the later models tranny's not included??? are the newer ones upgraded to not have the same problems?? i have a non-extended tl and i looked and seen the "oil jet" was done, what does that mean exactly?

Amazing what happens when a woman asks a question and also adds a pic of her sexy self lol. LET THE QUESTIONS ANSWERS FLOW LIKE WATER. To be honest I wouldnt trade in two cars and especially that IS300 for one car unless its a BMW 330CI or like a Benzy CLK430.

I'm Down Right Fierce!
hmm... some guys really need to get off the internet and get real lives...
But anyhow.
I have an 03 that is covered until 100k, or after this Xmas, up to 109k. I don't know the tranny failure statistics of the late model 2nd gens (the later 03 models). But from what I've read on these forums, it seems like the late 03's also have the same problem.
All I can suggest is: get an extended warranty if possible, or if your tranny breaks, raise hell until the dealership gives you one for free. I know a few of the 02 owners were able to get new trannys past the 100k mark without having to pay a huge fee.
Some things that I've read but not sure if they help or not:
1. Try getting the oil jet kit done. (I had it done on my 03 TL-S, and mine still broke..so eh)
2. Use sports shift (tip tronic) whenever you drive and try to not use 3rd gear so much. The problem is a faulty design of the transmission: our trannies overheat causing the 3rd gear clutchpack to get hot and literally fall apart. (Again, I don't know if using Sports shift will really help, but eh... use sportshift and shift out of 3rd gear before hitting 4k rpms)
3. Drive like a grandma. Yeah it's a shame. I hate the idea of driving my TL-S like an old lady. Having 260hp + mods in a car and driving it like a grandma is like having a sexy naked woman infront of you and having erectile disfunction. But honestly, I think this might be the best idea. Drive conservatively and don't over work the tranny.
Either way, I know many members may disagree as to the preventative methods above. My friend who owns an 03 CL-S has commented that many CL-S automatic tranny failures are due to the way people drive. Could be true. If anything, I think people who always rev their TL-S/CL-S hard, aggravate their trannies more, but think of it this way: If you're given something with a faulty design, certain things might aggravate it and may cause it to break; but at the same time it might just break from simple use. It's up to you to decide how you want to approach the problem.
On a side note: What version engine did you buy for the RX-7? FC or FD Chasis? I actually helped my cousin rebuild his FD with a 13B-REW (280 horsepower JP version) engine.
Anyhow. Welcome to the forums and I hope you enjoy the TL.

2. Wont make a difference. (our trannies dont over heat, there is a lack of coolant to 3rd gear, and IMHO its the clutchpacks are too small)
3. Wont make a difference (many do already and they still failed)

I have a couple questions... I have a 2004 that is part of the recall (according to Acuralink, my car has had the Oil Jet installed as part of the recall).
According to this thread, the warranty is extended to 100,000 miles or 7 years for the 2000 to early 2003 models. Is my 2004 not extended even though it is part of the recall? Where is it written by Acura about the extension?
Do the newer TL's have a different transmission? If so, wouldn't the replacement trannies for the 2nd Gen be that one? If not, why do the 3rd Gen not seem to have as many trannie problems? I have heard of many 2nd Gen'ers going through 3 or more trannies... I am assuming the 3.2 block is the same...
Sorry Sherlock_Holmes, not trying to hijack your thread, but it seems related... Great job getting attention pulled to your thread!
Good luck with the TL! I love mine!
Coming to Hawaii anytime soon?

Just to add to the good comments to help ease your mind....
I'm at 118k and still running perfect. But i have a 99, dunno if that is supposed to be better than the 00-03's.
It really is a gamble, just as with any car. Acura is proud of their product though and will treat you better than most car companies.

O.K.,
I'll give you guys an update and then answer all the individual posts.
First, thanks for all the PMs.
Secondly, I went to the dealership that is selling the car out in Laurel, MD. The guy let me test drive the car overnight to see how I liked it. Everything was going fine until after I left Red Lobster. Nothing "bad" happened, but the "ABS" and "TCS" button came on and wouldn't turn off (I drove about 2 miles with these indicator lights on). I pushed the "TCS" button a bunch of times, but the light wouldn't turn off.
When I stopped at Starbucks, turned off the car, got my frap, got back in the car, and started it again, the lights turned off like normal.
Also, the maintenance required light blinked for a good 5 seconds after start up and then went off. This is probably not abnormal though.
When I drove to work this morning, everything was fine. I will talk to the dealer about these issues before committing. If nothing else, I would like to get the price down a tad (17,900.00).

I pushed the "TCS" button a bunch of times, but the light wouldn't turn off.
When I stopped at Starbucks, turned off the car, got my frap, got back in the car, and started it again, the lights turned off like normal.
Also, the maintenance required light blinked for a good 5 seconds after start up and then went off. This is probably not abnormal though.
When I drove to work this morning, everything was fine. I will talk to the dealer about these issues before committing. If nothing else, I would like to get the price down a tad (17,900.00).

What should the regular service involve? Tranny flush? Oil change? Anything else?
