Well while driving to mcdonalds, i stopped in the middle of the road to let oncoming traffic drive by on my left. So i was about to turn, I hear a loud crank noise and then my car stops in the middle of the road. Now i just can't drive or reverse. When I put the car in park, it makes a loud rattling noise. Also, when i put the car in park, the car just rolls back(that's just cuz i was going up a hill). So everything is fine, its just that i can't drive or reverse. Anyone know what's wrong???

 

Sounds like trans went if you cnat go forward or backwards. Also check the axles that they are still in place.

 

Tranny is dead!

 

dont be so quick there phee- occassionaly its NOT the trans.

What is the year and miles on the car?
Has anyone thrashed on it like drag racing or burnout or corners?
Anything feel like clutch slipping lately?

Have you registered to see if covered on trans extended warranty?

i ahd that happen to me in my old TL...wasnt the tranny i wanna say it was the control arm but that doesnt sound right...it was some type of arm or rod...cost liek 200 bucks to fix...i honestly cant remeber wat it was called though

 

my car is a 2000 tl-p at 158k miles now. Dont think its the tranny either...lookin towards probably the axle to something...Anyone know the cost to get that fixed?

 

cud be transaxle or maybe even the shift linkage

 

what's the shift linkage?

 

complete axle assemblies-all new at napa- are under 100, last I heard was 75, but that was last year

Control arm bushings in the front seem to be this months favorite failure- gen3 guys are having the wheel fall off when it breaks, thats steering linkage.

Jack it up and have a look for anything with a clean end- like broken metal bar

 

If it's making a bunch of racket when idling in park it has to be in the transmission. The fact that it goes forward but not reverse is heavily indicative of the transmission (though there's a small chance it could be a few other things).

All in all, with the whole situation you described, I'm about 98% sure it's the transmission.

 

It sounds like you are not really into working on the car, have it towed to a transmission shop for inspection. Call some places and ask how many Acura Tiptronic units they have done in THAT shop, and how many come back because not working right the first time.

You can talk with your Acura dealer if ever went there for stuff- even though way past the mileage cutoff of 109, they may price match a local shop at 2500$ and give you a better trans than rebuilding yours. See the SERVICE MANAGER only
Full dealer price is 4 gs and most rebuilder shops 2500-2800

 

that happened to my 91 legend, and it was the axle. but i dont remember if it made noise while in park. it doesnt sound like the typical tranny symptoms everyone on this forum had.

 

i was just wondering if it was to be the tranny then wouldn't the engine light pop up or something cuz mine didn't? When the incident happened, i heard somewhat of a *snap* i think it was. I'm not too sure because i had the music up.

 

pray for axle/CV failure
trans failures do many different things- some make no lights at all- others go into 2nd on the freeway or into limp mode and wont go over 2500 rpm

 

i hope so too cuz i dont really have the for getting a tranny fixed...

 

how much would it cost to fix the axle/CV?

 

us checked one of my receipts and it was the axle...i was sitting on a hill at a light and hit the gas and it just went snap and i started rolling backwards...made a terrible grinidng noise when i tried to put it in park...cost me a little over $200 to get fixed

 

was it making any "clicking" noises while turning before this happened? if so then you probably had an axle let loose.

 

Same exact thing that happened. I stopped and then i stepped on the gas and then it just snapped. I just started to roll backwards even when it's in drive.

 

thanks for the help everyone...now i just have to get it towed to the shop which means more .

 

climb under the car and take a look. Take some pics and post them.

 

same thing happened to me about 6 months after buying the car, the axle was laying on the ground.....acura's bitch ass's wouldnt fix it even though it was still under warranty at 40k, they claimed that it was do to me having the breaks replaced...they tryed to charge me 900 to fix it. ha right. had my father fix it with an after market for under 150....good luck though
