With all the talk about transmissions blowing out under 50K miles, I was wondering who's got the most mileage on their TL without transmission problems? How many miles are on cars which are still going strong?

 

im at 32k right now, and everything seems to be alright so far *knock on wood*

 

Mine seem a bit noisy (makes clunking noises) and I don't know if it's normal but it drives fine. It makes this loud noise when shifting from park to reverse or to drive. I don't know if anyone else hears this noise or it's just me. But so far no problems...

 

chuckstl had the most (i believe it was around 160,000 before it went) i had almost 80 on mine before it died

 

my wifes 2000tl has 44k on he with no problems, i have 16k on my 2003tls with no prob.

 

91,000 ('99 TL-P)
7,661 ('03 TL-S)

No problems on my '03 so far..

 

i just got to 50k miles this weekend, and i'm on the 3rd tranny; the original, one at 23k miles, and one at 34k miles.... right now my tranny seems to be working ok, but it is kinda jerky in second and third gear.....

 

65Kmi on '99TL...no probs so far, i just envy all of your 5speed trannies.

 

Have a '99 TL with almost 112,000 kms -- original tranny...

 

I have 59,000 KM on my 99 TL and now problems. I got the transmission fluid changed at 40 KM just to be safe.

I just wish for better performance out of it.

 

62K when it blew. The new one is just not as nice.

 

72k on my '99 all good.

 

Getting to 30k milestone and still running like new. *** knock on wood ***

 

128,000km, first trannie and still squealing tires like a mother trucker!! (knock on wood too! have to be careful, lol)

 

but you got the 99...most ppl with tranny issues are from 2k-2k3

 

20,900 Red headed step child wipping, Razor toting, Street raccing, Miles! No problems!
Did I mention to say, I change the fluid out every 15,000 miles.

 

I have a 2002 TLS. Check Engine light came on at 31600 miles. Dealer replaced two solenoids in transmission and the ECU. Car runs fine now and I have replaced ATF for good measure. I may want to do a complete flush of ATF before 50,000 miles.

 

69000 on my baby.... then it completely got fucked up in like 2 days

 

03 TLS w/31k no problems yet...

 

80,000 on my '99.. original tranny. It seems to be a little jerky lately though.

 

26k when it blew. the new one isn't as nice i agree, the gas pedal is stiff and it just feels wierd.

 

19k when mine went....second one is just fine at 9k miles (28k miles on the odo).

 

Lots of 99's have trannie problems, just a higher percentage of the newer ones, but the trannie warranty was extended for all of the second generation cars.

 

i've got 40k+ on mine and except for rough shifting, clunking, and wierd behavior, mine is still good.

flushed the tranny at 30k, fixed some of the behavior, but i bet it's still messed up.

just waiting for it to fail.

 

4551 on my 03 TLS, way too early to tell anything, but I hear a strange vibrating noise when the car is in drive, and when I haven't stepped on the gas, or when I slightly hit the gas, but then it goes away .... maybe I should get it checked out ...

Oh yea, does red lining in your 3rd gear (SS ofcourse) kill the tranny ?

 

Mine died at a stop light while moving at a whopping 0 mph

 

75000 on my 99. All is well...

It is horrible reading all the stories about tranny replacements. I can't believe that is happening to such quality automobiles. I have a snapper mower that has more miles on the tranny than most acuras and it is still running perfectly.
I talked to someone at acura recently and was led to believe there is still no fix for the tranny problems in second generation cars and there is only a 2 percent failure rate. Yea right. BS!!
Acura percieves that everybody on these forums are the enemy when actually the people here care enough to support the Acura company and drive these defective automobiles. THe forum members are acura's best friends.
Honda/Acura needs to do the right thing and either buy back defective cars or fix the transmissions. I think we have a big enough base of people to start a legal action and force Honda's hand to correct the problem. Everybody loses in this situation. Our cars plumment in value. everybody is pisse-d at acura and we all suffer.
Honda get off your a_s and do something. :rocketwho

 

1006 miles on my second tranny and no problems....so far. First one died at 49000 miles.

 

I recent had the opportunity of spending a full day with senior personnel at the corporate HQ of a national transmission chain.

One interesting fact came out that you guys might want to know. If your tranny is starting to go, changing the fluid is like hammering the last nail in the coffin.

This has also been my experience on this car. I found that my tranny fluid was dark brown (almost black) when I checked it at 8k. I changed it (actually flushed it), and the tranny failed at just over 9k.

It's good to know for when you get up around..... say 90k???
