My 2001 TL transmission took a powder today. I started noticing a funny noise on Saturday and my wife noticed it a little later in the day when she was driving it. Yesterday I had difficulty shifting and today while enroute to my Acura dealer she gave up the ghost going up a really nice hill. I had it towed the rest of the way in and I will be getting a loaner from Enterprise in the morning. They said it would be a couple days to get it fixed. I have just over 56K on it. I had no other warning on this and I was feeling pretty good about not having a problem.

 

R.I.P. tranny numba one......Imma keep knockin on wood with 137,000 miles on my tranny..

 

Did you pay for towing or acura covered it?

 

good luck did you have an extended warranty or maybe you can have honda pic up the tab for it somhow because your just 6k past your warranty( Maybe ????) never hurst to ask.

 

Hes not past the warranty. the tranny is good for 100k

 

a buddy of mine just bought a 00 TL w/ 86k on it and it's a salvage title. If his tranny breaks down, will acura also cover it eventho it's a salvage title?

 

No, Acura doesn't cover salvage titled cars.

 

Acutee The dearship is picking up the towing charge. Originally I had called the Acura Roadside Service 800# and they said I would have to pay the towing expense. I told the guy on the phone that was unacceptable and I would discuss it with the dealer. The dealer never blinked at paying the charge. I have been to Park Acura for gong on 5 yrs and have nothing but great things to say about their service department.
