My TL-p 02 with 92k miles has been showing some signs of slipage for the last few weeks ago .It will rev-up a few hundred RPM before shifting out of
3th gear only when engine is cold but it shifts fine and smooth when the engine is hot . Bring the car to Acura dealer the first time and do test drive with the service manager and he said nothing is wrong.

Extended Waranty expire in a month , so I decide to call another Dealer in here to have them do another test drive .And this time I leave the car overnight ...to make sure that I could duplicate the slipage ...and it works .The service manager order a new transmision and will change it next week........

My question is does Canada has the same Acura re-built transmi. like the U.S ? And do all the updates and fix (post Fev/2005 ) will be make in the
ones rebuit in Canada ?....

 

Should be the same trans.

 

Any precautions driving the new transmi. to break it in. And any sugestions for the futur maintenance on the new transmi.

 

There's really nothing you can do to your driving to avoid a faulty transmission. Most people said that if it's going to go, it's going to go. Even preventative maintenance doesn't help much. Some have said that doing full transmission fluid flushes can be worse for the transmission than simply a drain and fill. Reason for this is the build up in the old fluid helps the tranny (usually a faulty one) remain intact longer, for lack of a better way of putting it.

Consider yourself very fortunate to have it replaced under warranty. With your new transmission, simply drive it as normal.

 

Like he always says

 

Hope that Acura dealer will flush the A/T cooler lines , hoses lines and fittings as stated in the service bulletin before install the new transmision .
Do you think I should insist them to flush theses ?
What do you guys think ?
