Don't mean to beat a dead horse...
but I just thought I would update those who are waiting for trannies like me!!
I spoke with my dealer and he says he had a rep from Acura in to give him an update on the tranny issue. It seems acura is releasing 40 trannies from the assembly line and shipping them to dealers across the country! My dealer says I'm number 5 on the list, although I have no clue how he knows this!!
Anyway, I just wanted to give some of guys some hope!! It's been almost 5 weeks for me. I could sure use some a boost!!

This might be a dumb question, but in your sig you say you have ebony parchment interior. I don't quite understand. You have a satin silver TL, so I would assume you have ebony interior not parchment, correct?
Glad to hear the tranny is on the way. Hopefully things will get resolved quickly.

Here's some boost, Lemon Law that sh!t. 5 weeks is ridiculous considering the sh1t comes from OH. I mean, it's not like it's coming from Japan, right? Plus, no one should be out of their car due to manuf. f@ck ups for 5 weeks.
There's your motivation. Good Luck!

That's what happens when you don't do things yourself!! I must be retarded. I let a friend at work create the sig for me and I completely missed that!! Imagine my embarrasment!!

Lemon Law
Here in Florida the lemon law goes into effect if one of the two following circumstances occur 1) 3 attempts to fix the same problem fails, or 2) car with malfunction is in shop over 30 days. Both of which has to occur within 24 months of buying the car. You must understand that in order for the lemon law to be active it is up to you (the car buyer) to initiate the paperwork and bring the law their attention. The dealer will not mention anything about it.
Having said that, I should be gettting a new TL-S by next Thursday if my tranny doesn't come in by then. It has been in the shop for about 3 weeks. The service manager said I'm 44th on the "list." Whatever that means I dunno.

In NY, it looks like they have 27 days to fix it (7 days originally, then 20 days after that if problems arise, like a backorder issue) and the problem only needs to happen once. At that point they'll either give you a new car, or buy it back plus fees (registration, interest, etc) minus mileage for the first 2 years or 18k miles..... good to know.....
Not sure how many miles you've got, but if it's under 18k, you should be golden....

"If, within the period specified in subdivision (b) of this section, the manufacturer or its agents or authorized dealers are unable to repair or correct any defect or condition which substantially impairs the value of the motor vehicle to the consumer after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer, at the option of the consumer, shall replace the motor vehicle with a comparable motor vehicle, or accept return of the vehicle from the consumer and refund to the consumer the full purchase price or, if applicable, the lease price and any trade-in allowance plus fees and charges."
Basically translates to what I mentioned before!!

I just got my car back with a new tranny. That was after 45 days at the dealer. Glad to say, everything seems to be running great (knock on fake wood). Even with the tranny problem, I still love my TL-S. I'm so happy to have my baby back!
Good luck on yours.

I personally think Acura is playing all you "tranny problem" people. This is fooken ridiculous. It's not your fault they don't have enough trannies to go around and make you like #44 on the list... that's BS!

Maybe I am just old-fashioned but there is NO WAY IN HELL, I am buying a new car and the tranny goes out and I am happy about ANY RESOLUTION besides getting rid of the POS. This is nuts. 2, 3 trannies, no way in hell, I have no time or patience for machines that DO NOT WORK AS INTENDED.

I took delivery on Saturday. I didn't see this thread the last time I checked in. I hope this isn't a chronic problem. Oy! BTW my sticker says the tranny is from Japan. Does that explain (but not exuse) the delay in replacement? Also, are the dealers providing loaners for this obvious problem child?
I took my new baby on a 120 mile loop around LA yesterday to start the break in. Wow!
