Another tranny bites the dust
Nope not mine. A friend of mine and poster on this board (JMAN) got the call today. Tranny is in the sh!tter and he needs a new one.
That sucks big time.

I've got about 500 miles on my new one...
having the same sticking in 2nd gear that I was with the old one, guess I just have to stop pushing 2nd gear so high because that's when it gets stuck.

Not common on the TLS, I heard of only one incident on a TLS. His screen name is Redlined so I wonder why his tranny went bad

How common is this happening with the new TLS?

It seems as though the shifting is not as smooth as before. This happens when I'm around city streets below 40 mph in auto. I can feel it hesitating slightly before it switches gears. Is this a sign that my transmission is starting to have problems? Anyone else have this problem?

What was the mileage on these trannies?? For the Type-S Acura did beef up the tranny over the TL-P secondary to the bump in power, but as was mentioned to date I have only heard of one tranny failure with replacement which was handled quickly and the exact cause of the problems was undetermined.

I have 11k miles on mine. I know this was asked before, but there was never an agreed upon answer. Should I reset my ECU to try to get rid of this hesitation? Maybe this would help?
Thanks,
Peter.
