Arrrghhhhhhh!!!

Driving home from work today, check engine light and TCS light both come on. Keep in mind this is a *new* transmission, after the first one gave out after 85k. Tranny immeaditely pops into my mind so I decide to pull over. Well I have to stop at a stoplight first. I accelerate and as soon as it hits the first gear shift point, I hear neutral. 5 or so seconds pass then it SLAMS into gear :bigun2: :bigun2: So AAA came to the rescue and I'm having it towed to leith in cary. Since I now have 110k on my car, I see a 2 thousand dollar bill headed my way. Sorry just needed to vent. I am beginning to dislike quite a few things about this "car". fuck.

Uh, just got the call from Acura, Honda is going to pay for everything even though I am over warranty. How lucky I am.

Yeah, I suspect that Honda/Acura will cover everyone for as long as you own your car..

I hope that's the case for everyone. But there has to be some kind of cutoff point where they stop giving our free trannies.
