well my tranny died monday, i towed it to the dealer monday night and at 2:30 this afternoon the dealer called and said it was fixed and ready for me to pick up. now thats fast service.

 

ugh.... makes me nervous. Although I havn't driven my TL in a week and a half. I've got a 740il from work right now that I am driving. I'm tryin to keep the mileage down on the TL.

 

Same happened to me. 32K miles. Last Thurday I felt it slam into second gear, but then it was fine the rest of the way home. For the heck of it I called the dealer and they immediately said I needed a new tranny. Took it in last Thursday and got it back yesterday.

 

still waiting on my 5th tranny

 

Which dealer did you go to?

 

Wooooo That's not bad at all bro...

 

i really like my dealer. Zimbrick in Madison, they have been awsome to deal with!

 

Man I worked at Zimbrick in Madison a few years ago...

 

Does it occur to anyone that tranmissions are not supposed to be wearable parts and that we have a major problem here?

 

yep.. and that's why there are petitions and stuff by us... and that's why acura extended their warranty...

 

Acura of Libertyville.

 

Yeah, but I was actually glad I went. I tend to hold onto my cars longer than 100K miles. My concern was that it would die afterwards. Once the problem was allegedly resolved, I wanted the new tranny and am actually glad it went.

As crazy as that sounds.

 

GoHawks:i am from chicago too i take my car down to continental could you fill me on details on your car ? Cause this transmission crap is making me paranoid now i am putting my car on sale next week but just in case.


Comet2404: You got a 740 Bimmer from work ? i think i am in the wrong line of biz.

 

hey bigman...you got 4 trannys for your 99 TL? Did they replace it w/ another 4 speed auto, or the "fixed" 5 speed auto? just wondering
